Evolution. Some say the zenith
of human intellectual thought and scientific method. The proposition that life
evolved through natural selection of the fittest genes, that humans arose over
millennia and not created from dust, has forever changed our understanding of
ourselves and our place in the world. Whereas the Big Bang theory ripped up
Genesis chapter one, Evolution did it for chapter two, putting it squarely in
confrontation with religious Creationists ever since. And here we stand today,
in a world deluged in violent conflagration between the forces of progressive
rational scientific enlightenment and those of a fanatical mediaeval barbarism.
Anyway, on perhaps a lesser scale, there's also a spot of evolution
going on in London's food scene.
