10 - So... You Believe in Evolution?

You believe in evolution? You do? You believe that
Charles Darwin was right, and everything is as it is
because of 'the survival of the fittest'? Have I got it right?
You really believe that we humans are the highest form of
development so far, and that we've got here by blind fate
somehow or another using the principle of 'the survival of
the fittest'?
Very well.
So, I suppose, you think that many thousands of years
ago the ape was the highest form of existence in this chain
of development. And then, for some reason or another – I
wonder what? – this ape began to develop into a
humanoid. Or rather, into several, different kinds of
humanoids. Naturally, some of these were 'fitter' than
others, better adapted to survive. Indeed, in the course of
time, one of these humanoids proved to be the fittest of the
lot. The rest died out or were exterminated, and we ended
up with what we've got now – homo sapiens. Homo
sapiens – you and I – we are the highest form of
development – so far! And we got here by blind fate,
natural selection and 'the survival of the fittest'.
