Don't worry. New ones will evolve.

Yes, indeed. It's simple, really. A billion monkeys banging on the keys of a billion typewriters for a billion billion years ought to be able to handle it--provided they don't screw up and write Hamlet first.

Nothing miraculous about mindless, directionless evolution. Just take inanimate matter, sprinkle liberally with time, and--PRESTO--Charles Darwin!

Well, that did happen. Some years ago some monkeys typed on some typewriters and came up with an operating system. They called it MS-DOS, sold it to IBM and now they're one of the biggest companies in the world. (Though it'd been better if they 'screwed' up and wrote Hamlet instead)
