Once more, I step in and turn the knob to the left.
I wonder what it must’ve been for the first primate to gain self awareness. Were they aware they were aware? Also, at which point did the first member of Homo sapiens come to be? Surely there was a first one, no? It’s just we’ll never know who, or how it was like to be the first.
Now that I think about it… What will the next evolution trait for humans be? By improving medicine and natality rates, did we mess with natural selection? I’m pretty sure I remember lactose tolerance being a recent example of mutation and evolution. I’ve also heard people can suddenly become lactose intolerant. Man, I love dairy so much, I hope that doesn’t happen to me.
I wonder what was the first animal to ever produce milk — sheesh, that must’ve been a scary mutation to get out of evolution. Did that animal’s offspring instinctively know they should drink it? Did it take centuries for milk to become useful to offspring? Ah, nature and evolution, so cool and so mysterious…
I turn the knob to the right, sigh, and step out.
