I was fascinated to watch last night's 'Who Do You Think You Are?' featuring Charles Darwin. Using census data and ancient parish records, Darwin was able to trace his mother's family tree back some 400 million years to a type of lung fish that crawled out from the primordial soup to become the first member of his family to successfully live on land and breath air. Not all of Darwin's ancestors were quite so illustrious though, further investigation of his father's side revealed a shameful secret. It seems that one branch of the family were nothing more than a bunch of damned dirty apes, who probably spent all day swinging around in old tyres and throwing their own sh*t at each other. Interestingly, many American high schools are refusing to show the program which unlike evolution, does not exist.
