Was The Creation of Humans

the complex
step by step process of adapting
and forming new
limbs and losing
others and going up the trees and coming down
and then, finally,
with opposable thumbs and tails,
standing up
and walking
among the savanna grass,

or

was it just the quick snapping
of a few words?

One to ponder Eric. I believe in the theory of evolution, where all living things evolved from a single cell organism, each species adapting to its own environment. The question of the origins of life will be on the lips of humans until someone finally cracks it. Keep it up man. Ask these questions, it helps us to understand our own lives. :)

Not sure if you intended the title as the first line? A simple 'was' would be stronger. The described process of evolution was aptly lengthy when compared with the abrupt conclusion. But unsure about 'snapping'as the correct word. xj
