It's true, we don't know shit, really - I mean we have an enormous body of knowledge on the basics of past life, but fossilisation is so rare that we really can't expect that much in the way of data for a typical 2 million years in one particular species evolutionary path, be it a conche, a palm tree or the one we are really interested in, our own..
Its true that given the time-span of life on earth, and the relatively high amount of bio-available chemistry that is tied up in the biosphere at any one time, that the matter that makes up our bodies - the eyes through which we read these words have been the bodies of billions of organisms in the past - our homonid ancestors, the things they ate, the rats that picked through ancient rome, the dinosaurs, the carboniferous forests that covered the entire planet, and the 6 foot millipedes that lived there - we really and truly are made of and from everything that has ever lived here, or ever will.- what an awful run-opn sentence that doesn't finish properly. I'm such a cunt, please ignore me.mikotondria3
