Despite cartoons you may have seen showing a straight line of fish emerging on land to become primates and then humans, evolution is not so linear. The brains of other animals are not merely previous stages that led directly to human intelligence.

: Definitely a good impression. My only beef with Twitter vs. Plurk is that Plurk makes conversations easy, while Twitter has been more of a broadcast medium. When I reply to a tweet, I have to hope that it attaches to the right one. This may make things easier.
