i wonder what the evolutionary effect will be of having so many new variables introduced into our lives. just think about it, the roman empire wasseemingly laid low by one simple variable, lead in their drinking water. and now we have this huge social experiment wherein millions of chemical, mineral, nutritional, etc variables have entered our lives.
i wonder if we’re on the verge of the diversification of the human species. maybe. who knows?
maybe in a few thousand years it’ll be a misnomer to even refer to the ‘human species’. maybe we will have all splintered off into weird, genetically incompatible sub-species.
maybe.
i should probably write about this when i’ve had more than 2 hours sleep. my tired little brain isn’t up to big thoughts right now. so i’ll just have some kamut flakes with soy milk and then drink a glass of mega-antioxidant juice and then bathe in water that has been flouridated and then etc etc.
see what i mean?
all of these crazy variables.
my face hurts.
