I have generally tended to think of evolution as something that
happened long ago and was how we came to exist. Though it would be
obvious that evolution is an ongoing process, I don't think many
people think of it this way. Well, I just had a moment of sudden,
intense *awareness* or whatever you wanna call it as i read this
science update piece in Nature...
http://www.nature.com/nsu/040607/040607-8.html
... that stated "human speech is thought to have evolved 100,000 to
200,000 years ago".
Well, that's not long ago at all! At least it doesn't feel so to me.
Which led me to come to the startled realization that I probably am
undergoing the evolution of the species as I sit here, eat my feta
cheese stuffed green olives, drink my jasmine tea and read the news
online.
Talk about an existential transformation!
I somehow now feel acutely aware of my evolutionary context.
Hopefully you are indeed evolving intellectually,
socially and such. But evolving in the true sense
biologically speaking... kind of... however
it is all happening in your testes. Treat them well
and they are more likely to treat potential offspring
well.
The best way to put it is that you are ready to evolve
and are constant in a state of flux (reproductively,
emotionally, intellectually) speaking... however
evolution is not accomplished until procreation
occurs. So biological evolution is a team sport.

It would seem so, from your above it looks like the fourth letter.

A baseball bat, with the words "Clue Stick" impressed into the wood. Anyone
smacked upside the head with it will have a useful personal epiphany, and a
blinding headache. A sheet of paper accompanying the bat indicates that other
models are also available, such as the "Ugly Stick." - Warehouse 23
