[P&D note: the author of this piece assumes that the first humans “appeared” from other species 200,000 years ago. Obviously, we strenuously disagree with ALL such evolutionary assumptions. They couldn’t be more wrong. Despite these wrong assumptions, our readers might find the graphic depiction of the human race interesting.]
