3/4/11 And the meek shall inherit the Earth

There is a genetic trait among cats that gives some of them extra digits on their feet. A friend had one that could open stuff with that extra finger. Evolution is interesting.

They inherited the earth and they knew nothing about us.

Fifteen different species evolved to replace us. Cats were the first but disease wiped them out. Feline diseases were rampant without human intervention. Ferrets and weasels followed them. The evolution of the ferrets and weasels was quick and ripe with failed genetic lines. Ultimately conflicts among tribes and starvation ended their reign. Next the insectoids took a shot at dominating. Ants evolved to dominate but queen-icide led to a loss of leadership and colonies fell apart. Next were wasps. They dominated almost as long as man but then the new ice age wiped them out. From the ice emerged the next species to dominate earth. Aquatic mammals that looked similar to sea otters but large stood up and reigned. Their cities just beneath the surface of the oceans would be a marvel that few understood.
