W e are here, but we are here because others have been “here before us. W h o these forbears were in the ancient times we are left to conjecture. Some have advanced the theory that in the dim long ago we have had a rather close relationship to the hairy, tajl-bearing Simian. T hat is dis concerting to some and personally we rather scout the idea. However, occasionally we run across a specimen of the race, and a certain similitude stares us in the face, and we must gravely assume that the scientist surely has some evidence for his theory. If a man shed his shirt and throw away his razor, there is no question that in a few short generations he would be as hairy as any Simian. There is of course the tail! W h a t ever else we may have gained, ew have lost that. It s some loss, too. Think how useful a fifth member would be in this present com plex life. T here’s the bus driver. He has three or four pedals his feet must repose on; about the same number for his hands; the gag ets'on his bus board to finger; the air lever to work that opens and closes the doors. Ask him if he could use a fifth member. Then there is the pipe organist with three decks of keys to handle and a bunch of stops more pro fuse than even the governor’s vocabulary. Moreover, there is the apple picker. How more efficient would be the apple picker with a good strong extra tentacle by which he could hang. The more you think of it the more you realize that the loss of that fifth member is some loss! Perhaps our pride is shocked at the thought of Simian ancestorship. But maybe we need to be shocked— shocked into humility and usefulness. The pride of the sneer-covered lip has never proved an asset of this world. Humility gets the world s work done. Look at the mule! Proverbially, he is without pride of ancestry or hope of posterity, but he has plugged right along with us in the ad vance of civilization. He has had what it takes. So we close with the double conclusion that ancestry involves not all the apples on the tree, and perhaps in descending from the an cestral tree one may lose something that would be of considerable service to him.
