evolution gave mammals big brains to support our noses (earliest mammal brains endocasts created by new imaging tech)
evolution gave homo erectus the ability to make stone tools almost 2 million years ago
we can brachiate
we don't make vitamin c
we walk on two legs - for long distance travel

about me
about 20 years ago my dad died when the plane he was going to work in crashed in nanaimo Harbour, burst into flames, and sank.
reports say he helped survivors out of the plane.
they recovered my father's burned body from the ocean floor.
they found the skin of other passengers under his finger nails from trying to claw his way out.
since he died I was unaware that I blamed myself for not being able to save him.
this is character development.
it is so simple.
one day the world is black.
then the character learns something that changes his life.
he learns the world is white, like I did, once I realized I had been blaming myself for his horrible death, and knowing that, I knew I didn't have blame myself anymore.
