Darkness and the Deep

Were they men... or animals They lived in family groups, as men do. Yet the female was always taken by force, as animals do. They walked upright as men do. Yet they fought with their teeth and nails, ripping at each other's flesh, as animals do. These strange and violent people belong to the bloodstained and bestial past of every one of us. These are the first men and women - more of a jungle animal than a human being...and ancestor to all of us.
