Note on Human Evolution

As we remember from our biology classes, species evolve over time due to spontaneous mutations in our genetic material that either improve or not improve our capacity to thrive in our environment.  Mutations that directly  relate to sex and death are especially potent; the genetic code of those who have more sex and live longer tend to promulgate throughout the species.

At 5’8″, I’m slightly short as an American male, but I’m a downright Lilliputian as a Croatian.  Apparently, Croatian women dig really tall guys, and have for some time.

I had to laugh when I entered a men’s room and saw that the lip of the urinal came to my hip, forcing me to stand on my tip-toes.
