The nit-picker in me wants to point out that people do not evolve, populations do. Evolution occurs over generations, not over silent moments. But having said that, my initial reaction to the cartoon above, shared by P. Z. Myers<\/a>, was to think \u201cMy Sunday school class would totally do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
