"There is no point in just exploring"

Said the fish that stayed in the water to those that became amphibians

Said the reptile that stayed on the ground to those that became birds

Said the insect eating mammals that stayed on the ground to those that became bats

Said the camels and horses that went extinct to those that explored Asia.

Said all those extinct species that stayed in isolated niches to those that moved on and survived or evolved.

PS I still owe you a big follow-up, but family issues are keeping me too busy and there is no rational excuse for not protecting Earth from asteroids, pollution, or global warming as it is a rare jewel in the universe.
