Today it did occur to me that maybe man was not the first choice species to evolve at such a rate to claim superiority over other inhabitants of the earth. I think that maybe there was another that had a better shot at progressing to the betterment of all, but something happened. Something simple, like it was tastier to the Tyrranosaurus rex.
