From shrew to you

It seems that every time nature has revealed a answer, she also gives rise to yet more questions.

I found a few web articles that I feel may be relevant to of macro-evolution.

In 1997 scientist discovered that whales are related to cows and hippos. That is about as counter intuitive as it gets imo.

So all bets seem to be off, If a shrew like creature can give rise to humanity.

My Haiku on common descent

I believe this to be true

all creatures are kin

How could it be otherwise

"Phylogeny"
I think you need 5 syllables there.

Try: It's Phylogeny
