We Spawned Like Fish 
Spewing Eggs Everywhere, 
Rapaciously Scouring The Land 
For Any Form Of Sustenance;


Community Creatures,
We Travelled in Massive Herds 
Unrealized By Any Beast On Earth Today.
Poor Eyesight, Senses Of Hearing And Smell.
Open to Attack from Land And Air We Scurried...


Into Burrows 
Which We Individualized 
Into Precious Dens,



Shrinking Gestation Periods, 
Smaller Broods Made 
Preservation of the Species 
Priority One,
Nurtured Longest Living, 
Strongest Offspring. 
Hungriest Ignored to Death


Out Of The Den


Individuals Living Alone In Den Neighborhoods 
Open to Invasion From Predators;


Could Still Be Wiped Out In Large Numbers;


Strongest, Smartest, Fastest, Most Vicious 
Moved To Trees To Escape Bears, 
Dogs And Cats Hunting In Packs;


Became World's Most Efficient Hunter...  
Spacial Thinkers, Patient Team-workers 
With Increasingly Acute Senses Of Sight, Smell, Hearing.
Ambush Orchestrators, Trap Setters, Harvesters.


Out of The Trees
Raiding Dog Packs, Bears, 
Big Cats and Birds 
Could Wipe Us Out Of An Area...


Eventually Most Of Us 
Took To Trees For Safety,
Reconnected As Community Animals 
After Attempt At Solo Living In 
Fisher-Martin-Badger-Wolverine Stage 
With Added Viciousness, Cunning;


Ability To Create Ambush.
Protective of Family Unit.
Tendency To Save Food Develops;

Learned To Deal With Thieving Apes;


Forced Out Of  The Trees 
By Most Horrifying  Enemy Yet...FIRE.
Returned to Earth To Inhabit Caves,


Best Hunters Could Feed Blood-Tribe/Cave-Clan
Kicked Dirt On Our Dead, Domesticated Dogs
Developed Mind's Eye, Drew On Cave Walls...



Moving Towards The Human Species 
As We Have Been Doing Since We Left 
The Water, Our Nascent Humanity 
Opens Our Eyes And Our Hearts 
To the Power Of The Human Spirit, 

Stronger, Smarter, Faster Than Ever... 

The Best Hunters Told True Stories, 
Laughed Loud, 
Danced Tirelessly,
Spawned Strong Children, 
Realized Danger To Clan Unit 
From Lazy Tribes Feeding On 
Stragglers From Backs Of Pack,

Moved Away From Caves To Build Towns.

Put Crops In Rows, Erected Walls, 
Dug Moats To Protect Community.

Back-Of-Herd-Feeding Cave Man 


Hunted Humans, Raped, 
Murdered, Enslaved, 
Plundered, Stole From, 
Cannibalized Humans;

Malnourished Males Held Sway

Through Cowardly Brutality,

Acceptance Of Classes, 
Castes,
Stations, 
Roles;

Continued Slow Journey Towards
Human World In Face Of Seemingly
Perpetual Viciousness To Accomodate
Narrow-Minded Cave Brains...
