Not much in the way of news today, so I’ll be wasting some of your good old time with a very far-fetched idea of mine. During my years of schooling, I learned that archaic humans had started evolving from the great apes around 400,000 years ago. (I guess now is also where I should say that if you’re a creationist, don’t take this too seriously.)
The general idea belief among human evolution is that humans split off as a distinct species from other primates and evolved into what we are today. Upright, bipedal, bigger brained with less body hair and all that jazz. And according to many, humans are still evolving (only we don’t notice it because it’s not an overnight process. But think about it, how many of us actually need an appendix or our tailbone? If we follow the course of evolution, and if humanity lasts long enough, we eventually won’t have those anymore. At least that’s what the Internet says, and everything I read on the Internet is true…)
Unfortunately, BMX bikes weren’t readily available when Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus were walking the Earth, so the needs of the modern day BMXer were not throughly addressed when our ancestors made the decision to evolve into humans.
