To think of ourselves as misfits in our own time and of our own making
flatly contradicts what we now understand about the way evolution
works—namely, that rate matters. That evolution can be fast, slow, or
in-between, and understanding what makes the difference is far more
enlightening, and exciting, than holding our flabby modern selves up
against a vision—accurate or not—of our well-muscled and harmoniously
adapted ancestors.
