so it seems we once possessed the notion that the diversity of life we discovered surrounding us originated from a single life
in fact we possessed the notion everything originated from a single something
the singular
this linear notion produced odd consequences

one of which was the notion that somehow all living life, including us, evolved from sexual relations with ourselves and other types of life

it was assumed that sex with the right something that was not of your type would and did produce a combination of you and it of better design than either of you were before

recently we have discovered that although, to a limited degree, cross sexualization (cloning/genetic engineering) does produce some weird effects, it is not the way nature performs

now we are knowing it is environment (outside) that dictates what forms next (inside) and it`s motion is not linear at all

but

is prompted by causes not readily apparent on the planet (earth) when and where the changes occur
