The whole period of evolution of man on earth, since he was a unicellular organism until he acquired the graceful and beautiful form it has now, can be condensed and observed in the nine months of gestation in the womb. In that environment, an aquatic medium, life begins as a unicellular organism and takes the shape of a beautiful baby at the end.
Life on earth started in the sea. An aquatic medium like the womb. Khalil Gibran says: "There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the ocean." That unicellular organism was however always destined to be a man and not anything else.
During the gestation the fetus may resemble a tadpole or may look like the fetus of an ape. Nevertheless it always was and had the potential to become a human being. So even though fossil remains may prove that human beings at some point during their evolution were balancing themselves from trees from their own tails, they were always human beings and not apes.
What do you think?
