| The clock's still ticking |

We have come so very far in this journey of the human race, from almost near oblivion to the height of immense technical wonder.

From the dusts of time the human race has risen up to become the most supreme, yet fragile creature on the face of the earth. We can only begin to imagine what our far away ancestors persevered to finally rise up into what we now believe is a civililized utopia. With over 6 billion people living in the world today, human beings are a phenomenally successful animal.
Deep in our memories their passed on experiences haunt us in our fears as well as our nightmares; also indeed our belief paterns have been moulded by the generation upon generation of the ones that have passed this way before us.
What happened to Ardipithecus ramidus, Australopithecus afarensis, Homo ergaster, Homo neanderthalensis, Paranthropus boisei? We, Homo Sapiens are the last walking ape to survive, the only one left standing, the rest were discarded by fate and time to oblivion, to just memories, but they are a testiment to the 5 million year journey we made to arrive at this point in time.
It is true that the pace has quickened, with questions about whether we too will become extinct due to some major natural or man made catastrophe. Were are we now rushing to, in such a hurry. Our personal journeys are frenzied, highly scripted hiatus from birth through adult hood to death.
We are indeed mystrious creatures of light; the question is where will this journey lead from here, will we be destined to oblivion like many before us, or will our legacy be to give birth to yet a far more superior race of walking apes. |
