According to my wise Dad, necessity isn’t the mother of invention; laziness is.

How in the world do scientists come up with this stuff? Maybe Homo Erectus was just plain stupid.

If you had to give a name to nobama, he would be Homo Flaccidus.

No, it is when Homo Erectus became Homo Non-Erectus that certain subspecies began to peter out (pun intended).

Nothing like getting the story straight.

Maybe their feet hurt.
Maybe they had no sense of direction.
Maybe they didn’t follow herding and migratory mammals.
Maybe they were afraid of water and the mysteries beneath the surface.

Maybe they were simply dullards (stupid).

The possibles are infinite and science has no way of determining any answer, which demonstrates the laziness of scientific postulation.

Carl Sagan was on the right track when he stated that “extinction is the rule, survival is the exception.”

Sounds like an early experiment in Socialism - too many got tire of supporting the lazy ones and they stopped their activities too...
