got caught jumping off the roof of your house and into the pool. I remember going over to grandma and grandpa’s house and playing cops and robbers with all of the cousins. How grandma ever put up with all fifteen of us I’ll never know. Grandpa would just kick our butts if we got out of line. Maybe I should have known that we would take different paths.

The land bridge is a fantastical geological landmark of the past, and important to human origin. The thing is, humans didn’t come from every place on Earth. They didn’t migrate to nearly 43% of Earth’s surface for no reason at all. Where did humans come from and why did they spread out and populate other places? To start off, humans had to originate from somewhere, and not all over the world. Humans were at an equatorial area, and the reason for this is because the equatorial regions are warmer
