De-Posit

I'm sure someone has thought of this before, but I'll give it a go...

For those that believe we are the epitome of evolution and that our origin is of the ape allow me to posit this. What if evolution is taking a break and that we are not evolved from apes, but instead apes have evolved from us courtesy of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics?

A slight detour to be sure. Never the less, we assume that evolution evolves species a linear trajectory ever upward, but what if we get little hiccups along the way. Some species remain stagnent, but cognizant enough to survive for a few millenia. Thus we have ugly ape roaming around reminding us what a slight variation for the worse can lead to.

If ever there was a case to be made for abortion and euthanasia I've made it, sadly...
