Great post on the lineage of humans

Have you ever wondered where we came from? This post may answer the question for you. In all, it echoes what I've said here before: life is an inherent property of matter. (I don't know who said this first; I think it was Sean Carroll.) We are the universe, baby.

The creature whose photo you see here is one of our possible forebears (if it wasn't this one, it was a similar creature). His name is Purgatorious. Curious name, eh? The photo is from Wikipedia and you can learn more about Purgatorious here. But do check the post linked to above. It follows life all the way back.

And hey, I'm loving Freethought Blogs, which is where I found the post. Thanks guys. You're doing great.
