We Became Human…to Get Away From Snakes?

[link to www.unknowncountry.com]

Snip
In evolutionary terms, humans may have gotten so smart—and our eyes so sharp—because we needed to get away from poisonous snakes. This lends new credence to the Adam and Eve legend.
In LiveScience.com, Ker Than reports that anthropologist Lynne Isbell thinks that snakes and primates have a long history of trying to outsmart each other. Could the early writers of the Bible have intuited this?

This article is just so interesting. It could explain why a lot of people have a terror of snakes and why the alien lizard stuff is prevailant.

Snakes are a primal fear. How many have had bad LSD experiences that involved hallucinations of snakes?

and most squirrels got wiped out as predetors waited for them on land, so the early mice/squirrles learned how to swing on the trees and move around them to look for food.. ratdance

If there's any truth to this (and I mean in the case of some "humans" not all), then it happened an awful lot faster than most can imagine.
