Part two of what I learnt

Scientists had recently challenged Darwin´s theories of evolution (remember those Finches) because they postulated that the lifetime of the Galapagos islands as we know them (at 4 million years old) was not long enough to allow the birds to develop their distinctive traits. However, geologists then discovered that, even though the youngest of the Galapagos islands is under 4 million years old, there are a number of submerged islands that would have once been above water that are over 10 million years old. This has convinced the scientists that Darwin was right after all.

In the past I have often hypothesised on the origins of man (dons jazz beard, white coat, packs pipe, buys first slippers and continues...), in patricular about the existence of ancient, partially aquatic humans, whose existence has been hidden from anthropologists because the evidence is buried under ocean beds and under water. Thanks to seeing the unspoilt Galapagos and direct evidence of evolution and how it has befuddled the scientific community, I am more convinced than ever that my own syndactyly (webbed fingers at birth, since split by surgery) is an evolutionary inheritance from, as yet undiscovered and unresearched, ancient partially aquatic races.

I am also equally certain that my gappy front teeth, as Wayne has frequently pointed out, are an evolutionary inheritance that; much as the Large Tree Finch is enabled to eat, presumably, large trees; enable me to eat an apple through a tennis racket.
