Sheesh! I thought the "The Benton refered to" was explanitory enough. What,
you want me to fill in the blanks as well? That's the trouble with a brain
the size of a planet :-)

Did I mention the pain down my left side?

OTOH, it appears the "Michael Denton," which should have gone between "is"
and "an" appears to have disappeared down a quantum wormhole during the
editing process. Tricky things quantum wormholes. Can remove whole quite
suddenly!

Many say it was a mistake to come down from the trees, some say
the move out of the oceans was a bad idea. Me, I say the stiffening
of the notochord in the Cambrian was where it all went wrong,
it was all downhill from there.
