We are riding the wave of progression that our ancestors incrementally contributed to!

And I do mean our ancestors⁰, and not just yours or mine:

Go back 20 generations and you and I share an ancestor with Europe¹
Go back 80 generations and you and I share an ancestor with the World².
Go back 170 generations and we all share all the same ancestors³.

That's an interesting 'modern' paradox. We share the same roots, and at the time we are individualistic, somehow different and unique, somehow extremely similar.

We want to be part of being a human, and at the same time being a single individual.

There are people amazed by the past, some others by the future. A few are enjoying the present. And some others have achieved to enjoy the 3 of them. I don't know, it makes you think and feel.
