Wah setahu saya teori darwin sudah dipatahkan. belum lama sih.
di majalah TIME waktu itu dibahas bahwa telah ditemukan "missing link" nya. telah
ditemukan kerangka -saya lupa berapa ribu tahun yang lalu- tapi intinya, bentuk
kerangka itu masih berbentuk manusia.
dan itu lama sekali.
jadi teori beberapa ribu tahun yang lalu monyet itu manusia "benar2" salah dan telah
dibuktikan.
so, darwin was the past.
we can proud now... i guess...
