BONES
STONES BONES & GENOMES
What makes human’s unique? Preying
upon their own species? Their pleasure
in getting inside each other’s brains via:
bullets MRI’s romantic love (what makes you tic Mr. Terrorist?)
Together this double specialty is said to be a
killer combo equipping us to take over the Planet
Should you think world domination by one rogue species
a good thing I direct you to a deep reading of Mein Kampf
It is no secret that natural selection has sculpted
human genes turning us into survival-machines
Except when the evolutionary toolkit produces PTSD
Oh the horror the horror croaked Colonel Kurtz
Why I have known 5 yr. olds who live in a trancelike
state Torture particularly in the early years so difficult
to eradicate (ditto gestation in the womb of a tortured mother)
Sectioning the brains of 4 stillborn human fetuses has
proven this
Humans seem to drag around the remnants of
their incubating cocoon Pre-natal environments
may adversely affect the rest of one’s life Yet scientists
say that behaviour doesn’t leave fossils
We must hotly dispute this notion see: bullet ridden bones
infant skeletons with multiple fractures charred remains in mass
graves Even a Neanderthal cousin turned up with an axe-split skull
And never forget that 42% of modern european DNA is Neanderthal
Which brings us to the conclusion that we must look at the characteristics
of each tree before we may understand the emerging forest
