We like to think that we are rational beings. Humane. Conscientious. Civilized. Thoughtful. But when things fall apart, even just a little, it becomes clear, we’re no better than animals. We have opposable thumbs, we think, we walk erect, we speak, we dream… but deep down were all still bruiting around in the primordial ooze. Biting, clawing, scratching out in existence in the cold dark world like the rest of the tree toads and sloths.
