When the long view of human existence is taken it is immediately obvious that evolution exhibits a fascinating plasticity in its plodding path to Enlightenment. The branching tendrils of speciation have tried this avenue and now that in the Universes's inclination to awaken, and there is no reason to suppose that this process is now in abeyance. For a long time it has seemed to me that humanity is even now in the process of speciation, and is, as we speak, busily developing (as did Darwin's finches) into quite identifiable sub-species of creature-hood.
The characteristic that fascinates me is that of mind, and of course mind is a function of the physical form of the brain. The characteristics of clairvoyance and perspicaciousness are such that those possessing these attributes would necessarily self select in their vulnerabilities to sexual partners, and so pass on to their progeny these qualities that are the prerequisites of Enlightenment.
Even the greatest of natural abilities must need cultivation, and one is reminded that the only measure of equality is the respect we accord the confusion of those around us.
Meditate.
