LOL. Yeah. First, dirt has no DNA, unless its bacterial and other DNA left behind by soil organisms. I doubt Adam would have much in common with those. If we take the Genesis account literally, Eve would basically be a clone of Adam, albeit missing some of the unique DNA in the Y chromosome. Maybe that is why she is surprised?

A repeat, as Beaglelady posted this in Nov. 2022, but thought it a good time to reflect. While Jane Goodall’s organization took offense, when she saw it she thought it quite funny, and later even wrote an introduction to one of Larson’s collections.

Apparently Goodall received enough copies of that cartoon from fans to wallpaper a small room.

Horrific picture - I looked at it and noted that I have used all the telephone models in the evolutionary history, except the 1896 model. Does it mean that I am older than the dinosaurs?

My kids say as much to me already, when we talk about phones, dial up Internet, and record players!

I was just talking this weekend about my first mobile phone: a bag phone from the mid eighties with a magnetic base antenna you could stick in the roof of the car when driving.
Being a doc in a rural area where you were the ER and hospital doc as well, it was a real blessing to be able to return calls without being tied to a land line. As I recall, I carried a pager and primarily used it to call back rather than trust the spotty coverage.

LOL, of course. Phones really have changed, and so have phone systems. My wife even had a party line when she was a girl. And remember the horrors of expensive long-distance calls?
Sometimes, with such poor cell coverage in some areas, I feel like it would be nice to connect my cell phone to a large antenna.
