  Insects are dominant Rick. Terrestrial arthropods have pretty much been the dominant lifeform in terms of biomass since they started to emerge onto land during the late Silurian. They have always been here and always will be until the Earth gets burnt to a crisp when the sun finally goes nova.
  
  It's only our egotistical human perspective that regards us as a superior survivor, but in evolutionary terms we are just a brief blip on a staggeringly colossal timescale. All species are but temporary and we are no exception, but arthropods as a phylum will just continue on and on even if the individual species disappear.
  
  Despite what many people think, the human evolutionary record is well documented. The fossils may be few and far between and some of those that there are lead us to all sorts of fascinating sidelines on our family tree that went no-where. However, at no point in the human fossil record there a sudden WTF moment of innovation that forces us to embrace a creator (unless one actively wants to see it) as the incremental steps are all there.
  
  It's it's a vote betwen Adam or Australopithicus robustus, I know where my vote lies.
