I don't believe that Adam and Eve stuff either. It was Joe Bob and Betty Sue, if you ask me.

OK, on a reasonableness basis. The first humans. Let's say it started off gradual, a refinement process, not that you would notice, if you got a polaroid of any number of stages. (I have my doubts about big hands and lightning bolts, etc..)

So there must have been this precursor (there is that word again.. how far does it go back?) -- say, a sort of less hairy monkey guy who stopped doing vile stuff every so often, to break a stick and try to use it for a toothpick.. so where did he come from? Topeka? A hairless mole rat? Let's start at some slime in the oooze. First radioalaria. All by itself? Oodles just turned up one day, like ants at a picnic?

The kick off is what plagues me. I can buy into all sorts of development going on. You see that every day when a transient accidentally stumbles into into a library, but what started the whole damn thing, and what scale did it require to populate the damn wickie wackies all over the place?

Is grandad a bug? And when did he first start to wave his cilia at grandma? (It's those sex bugs again, Matilda, they can't be satisfied with just dividing like normal bugs, they have to try to divide other bugs! I refuse to go to any of their slimey get-togethers.)
