clearly you havent heard of Dr. Mello's nobel winning research on RNAi. as a test subject, he used this transparent worm (I'm currently looking up the name of it) which had many of the organs humans do, which make them excellent test subjects. its true that if we chart out the human evolution, we'd see that one of them would branch out to become what is a worm today. what is our nervous system is probably altered for the modern worm due to the drastic conditions the two live in. you have to remember though, the ancestor wasnt last generation: the two have been changing themselves to adapt to different, yet ever changing conditions for millions upon millions of years.

I have my doubts about the validity of these claims of finding a human brain fossil. I would like to see photos. on the other hand, I do have photos of the real thing, One that my wife and I own. This one is for real. Check it out on You Tube Man with two brains (I was trying to catch attention).
Honestly, I do really have this thing and it is Infiltration nature actual cast pseudo morph, not encrustation and not endocast.

i don;t agree. I am not afraid of being biten even though I have an alergic reaction when I am ( I hike and live in the woods, so its inevitable). It is the look of them that's scary. Period. And I'm trying to find out why we all react that way

I heard that butterflies are treated as a good environment index. I mean if there are butterflies in the area it means that the area has a good environment... There were I come from there were many butterflies back in the end of 80s and the beginning of the 90s, but now one can rarely see one... this is really ugly what people did to this planet in these 10-20 years... That's why I liked the movie "The day when earth stopped spinning" - because it strengthened my belief that humans (we) are nothing more than parasites!
