When I get to heaven, I’m going to look up all my ancestors. I’ll bet I’ll be floored with surprises.

The “fatigue” is not a strictly modern development.

You may find some surprises as well.

Like Sunny Hostin did on “Finding Your Roots” she found out one of her ancestors was not only a SLAVE OWNER but a SLAVE TRADER!...............

This (if true) would support the theory that a “superior” (subjective) or precedant human population developed greater intelligence before homo sapiens sapiens, which is a very very radical one because, they either went extinct 250,000 years ago (like many other pre-humans and other parallel branches) or they left earth or at least the surface of the earth.

Sorry for all the parenthesis

We only know what we know, and there is always many times more that we do not know. What we think we know is just what we can currently surmise. We need to be humble enough to admit we do not even have a lot of possible evidence that can change everything we currently surmise - evidence that has just not yet come to our attention.

I'm afraid that's a slim hope. As my Great Aunt Laura Bell said, "If you look very far up the Family Tree you're going to see some monkeys." I didn't have to look very far.

Gen 6:2 kjv That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

In a related story, Jazzy Crokfull and Ocrazio-Cortex are petitioning Judge Boasberg for a comprehensive investigation of why their brains did not receive any smart cells.

I guess the global warming model software wasn’t busy so they re-tasked it.
