They say the alternative to natural selection
That took the human race into our direction
The first was the jump from one cell creatures
To higher animals that had more involved features
Then there was the jump to creatures with intellect
That could reason and hunt as a known fact
The third jump was from ape to a human being
To the people we are and the modern world seen
And we now know from DNA we are all related
To a woman from central Africa as it was fated
When we re-examine the Adam and Eve story
Or the Greek Prometheus legend in its glory
It may be that they have more credence for us
And Darwin's theories may not justify the fuss
Will it be as we find out more about our origins
The surprise is the truth of oral histories in the end.

I would like to translate this poem
An interesting poem Paul, I especially like the last stanza lines, I wrote a poem with a few similarities and differences on the same themes in March 2016 then lost it, recently found it and posted a few of the poems in the series today. Darwin's theories are presently being proven by the genome to be a hop skip and jump away from fact, interesting times in scientific developments.
