An Interesting Theory

It has been suggested that my blog is a diary. It definitely does not explore the inner-most recesses of my mind, but I see the person's point. I had an interesting conversation with someone recently. It seemed blog worthy soooo...

I havent studied this sort of thing or read much about it, but I wondered what a friend of mine thought of this idea. It didnt receive as poor of a response as my blog about coffee abuse...
A while ago, I read an article about a person who was born with webbed feet. If I recall correctly, it was said to be a result of some sort of mutation. I wondered if that was not the case. I wondered if webbed feet was some sort of building block: Perhaps we evolved from having webbed feet and since what we are now is built on top of that, people are born with webbed feet occasionally as some sort of evolutionary glitch. I thought that this could apply to some other abnormailites as well.

The person who I had the conversation with thought that it was an interesting theory but made the counter argument that some people are born retarded but that doesnt mean that we evolved from people who are retarded. I thought that we could have evolved from beings who had similar capabilities to someone who is retarded at some point in history. Interesting to think about...
