Our 9-year-old's theory of evolution

    My son, who is quite intelligent and insightfull for his age, gave me a good laugh this evening. We were sitting at a table putting together a puzzle. I said something of little importance and he decided he needed to correct how I said it. I asked him why he always has to be so critical of everything I say lately. His answer was, "Well, if I don't correct things that are wrong and we all stay stupid, then we'll never evolve into aliens!" Of course I had to laugh, and I asked him if he really thinks we will evolve into aliens. He said we would only evolve if we correct stupidness and get smarter as humans in general. He then stated humans are now "Super Monkeys", and the goal is to become "Ultima Monkeys" (aliens). Current real monkeys are just plain monkeys who have not evolved.

    So, for those who are interested in becoming Ultima Monkeys, you must eliminate all stupidness. (Looks like I'll be a regular Super Monkey for awhile.)

    hmmm, he and I have competing theories (though I must admit he's got about a 30 year jump on me). I say that we humans are just Comparison Monkeys. I guess we could integrate the theories and label humans Super Comparison Monkeys. Ask him if he'll allow that ;)

    Sounds like a pretty smart and thinking kiddo!

    Tetra, maybe it should be expanded to SUPA-ULTIMA-simian-sapiens - that's got a nice ring to it.
