What are the odds -

So.. I was thinking about evolution.. as I sometimes do - and then had something to say, but no real outlet to express it.  So..unfortunately you've become the ones I'll subject to it.

Ever notice how evolution shows the tremendous number of offshoots in the lineage of man?  Homo neanderthalis, Homo Erectus, ... etc. etc.  In the typical chart there's about 40 or 50 lines, and that's just those they've dug up.

And we homo sapiens are all that remain.. what a coincidence! In the great battle of survival of the fittest.. and with the near endless variety of species that have survived on this earth.. only one man-like variety made it. Funny how we were all so similar.. only slight differences really, even with similar brain sizes for the time. Matter of fact, completely identical minus the one morphological change that separated that one line from the next. But yet, only one remains. We have a wide variety of birds.. they made it. We have a wide variety of apes even... they made it. But, unfortunately, when it comes to humans only one line survived. It's amazing and boggles the mind the sheer chances of it all!  Scientists will point out the disappearance of each line.. just vanished off the face of the earth - every single one - by different environmental calamities.  Of course, they still only have theories on why we were the only ones in the tree to survive.


Or.. maybe it's more logical to realize - there's always only been one line of humans - us - and they are misinterpreting the data.

Guess it depends on what you are willing to believe.
