        As pointed out recently in Nature Magazine, there is an
embarrasment of riches in the examples of the development of the species
Homo over the past few million years.  One example that was popularized is
"Lucy".  There are, of course, many other examples.  Consult your local
paleonthologist.

I subscribe to the model that we and the observable universe, with all its

I defy anyone to prove me mistaken. (With thanks to Bertrand Russell).
