The Dirty Lowdown!

I was reading a science journal the other day and was surprised to discover that some dinosaurs had common ancestors with reptiles like lizards and alligators and snakes and komodo dragons and other mean, nasty, terrible things!

(That is, of course, unless you don't believe in evolution and think the world was created six thousand years ago!)

But what surprised me even more was that modern birds are leftovers from the age of dinosaurs.

Raptors, those vicious, dangerous, frightening monstrosities from a hundred million years ago had big teeth and feathers, and gradually turned into today's chickens.

Although I must say that I'm glad they got a little bit smaller over the eons, otherwise they would look like this picture on the right!

For that matter, most birds are also descendants of these creatures from a bygone era!

Where we get into a problem is when you start comparing humans to monkeys and apes!

Our vanity won't let us imagine that we could be descendant from such creatures.


In actual fact, it's far easier to think of ourselves as being evolved from apes, than it is to think that we were created from a lump of dirt!
