You are all off base. Everyone knows that Odin created the first man Aske from an Ash tree, and Embla (first woman) from an Elm tree and endowed them with life and souls.
I get very upset that the local schools teach this junk science of evololution instead of the truth. How do I know this, it's written in the Eddas for all to see plain as day.
Are we to believe we are descended from monkeys? The Ash tree is our true ancestor.
I'm guessing that you are trying to make a point....
