Wtf?! But we're the crown of creation because...
Yeah, because of *what* exactly? Because we just elected an old fossil US president? Maybe Joe is a trilobite!
So far, we haven't come up with anything that could make our species last for 270 million years...
Imagine if somebody would find a living trilobite today, it would be *the* most stunning scientific discovery EVER.
