Evolution and the Monkey Trails? |
A student trying for easy answers on the History QA got me wondering about the influence of the Monkey Trails on human evolution. Bruce Chatwin鈥檚, THE SONGLINES, documents the underlying premise of my question: Chatwin鈥檚 research concluded that aboriginals in Australia believe[d] the continent, the world, reality was 鈥榮ung鈥?into existence by ancestral deities as they traveled along a matrix of trails, commemorated in song and kept in existence by repetitions of those songs by travelers. The lyrics also functioned as maps for travelers. I鈥檓 wondering whether something similar hasn鈥檛 happened, but been forgotten across the rest of the planet, the result of trails originally made by apes, followed by apes throughout history until they achieved the status of super highways. Are the lyrics of human evolution recorded on billboards and in the stark highway hypnosis resonance of centerlines? Can the monkey trails really contain the secret to human evolution? "Are the lyrics of human evolution recorded on billboards[?]" No. "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls." "Trailing, we are trailing, home again, 'cross the sea..." Wouldn't there be a sort of community left behind? Some sort of archaeological discovery, be it pottery or anything of that nature? I personally don't think that Macro-Evolution fits man. Just my opinion. =) |
