I would predict that among the earliest of humans there were a high percentage that did just stand around waiting for apples to fall in their mouth. These got eaten by lions or something leaving the go-getters on the move Actually, these are the ones that survived to produce us! While their foolish brethren thought only of showing off, these people stayed in camp and taught lovemaking to the women. The hunters got eaten by lions, and killed by rivals, but enough of them made it back to bring home food, and to hear phony applause from their cunning and deceitful brothers. I can't prove this, but why go hunting if you can just let apples fall in your mouth, or better yet,go into politics? The falling apples technique has been used by cows forever. They don't live long, but they do get those feel good genes that teach them how to have a more delectable taste year after year. You accuse a cow of being a stupid and docile loafer--she just stuffs more grass in her cheeks, and gives you a knowing wink. Evolution is the stories students make up in their exam papers to explain why things are around. If the prof likes your stories, you've probably already picked up a few feel good genes...and more to come. Aw now, I'm just kidding...hot ham sandwich, please waitress...and a glass of milk.
