Evolution

the theory states that from tiny simple structured creatures in the water, evolution took place leading to sea animals like fishes, frogs, whales. From the sea, legs grew and creatures slowly moved to land and became dinosaurs that grew so huge it led to their extinction. And then along came the apes, our ancestors. So we all originate from Africa. Slowly our forefathers spread to the rest of the world, evolving all along the way. Survival of the fittest led to the homo sapiens migrating to the rest of the world and conquering even the most hostile territories. We are the sole survivor of the homo species.

After that came the variations in looks. Weather was supposed to have influenced hair, skin and eye colour-the level of pigmentation according to the degree of sunniness. Thousands of years of living in different region has led to great differences in people from various countries. So we are continuously changing.


Mum's theory:

Thousands of years to come, the homo sapiens will be little balls with long extended fingers to hold a remote control and play games or type on a keyboard. That's the only direction we are moving in. Too bad we can never know.
