Amazing Transitional Animals
SPECIAL EDITION
II
The Fleaquel
Darwin said that we should find
millions
of transitional fossils to
support the theory of evolution.
And though we
haven't come across any yet, we know it is just a matter
of time before we do. Because given enough time, anything can
happen (i.e., something from nothing, order
from chaos via random chance, evolution, etc. and etc.).
So we have taken the liberty
of "reconstructing" what these transitional
animals were probably like.
We snookered a bunch of students
from the local art school to help us out pro-bono. Now it should
be cautioned that these aspiring artists may have pushed their
creative license in order to beef up their portfolio and make
a name for themselves.
Then we hood-winked a bunch of
natural science students from the local junior college to give
us a brief synopsis of how these animals probably lived. And
they probably took some creative licenses too.
Enjoy the tour . . .
Manimals
Lower Primate-to-Man
Transitionary Species
In this edition we'll explore
more of the famed "missing
links" of lower animal to human animal transitions just
like in Issue Six.
You will find that these manimals
are not as humanly refined as the previous ones. In fact, they
are sort of opposite.
The last issue's manimals had
mostly a human body with a lower primate's head. These have primarily
a lower primates's body with human characteristics popping up
in the cranial/facial regions.
Since this stuff just happens
randomly, it is not a stretch that these two differing manimal
types could have evolved simultaneously (or even at the same
time).
They were just stuck in different
parts of the jungle where they had different external stimuli
bombarding their DNA.
Here we have an earlier female
manimal. You can see some human-like characteristics just starting
to evolve.
Notice the ears. They are human
in nature, but it will take a million years or so to lose all
that fur/hair behind them. When this happens, they will lay back
into a more normal position on the sides.
The mouth is more evolved as
well. The teeth are stronger and straighter. They are also whiter.
Apparently it is at this point that we learned to floss.
Also notice there is a more genuine
smile to the expression - doesn't it just warm your heart?!
Here we have another manimal
whose human characteristics have just begun to flower.
Again notice the almost full
expression of emotion in the face. Our crack team of emotionologists
have determined that he is either angry or sad about something.
Notice the he is sporting a flat-top
hair style. We speculate that there may be longer hair in the
back thus producing the first ever Mullet.
Maybe this is what he is sad/mad
about.
Here is yet another early manimal.
The only evolved features seem to be the eyes, but there IS something
else - the brain.
Nope, you can't see it but it
is somewhat human in intelligence. Here it appears the subject
is working out a system of math which would entail the "counting"
of objects.
He is probably contemplating
how many fingers and toes - well, fingers - that he has on his
hands and feet.
Ah yes, finally some distinct
human characteristics emerging. This is obviously an older manimal
judging by its bushy gray eyebrows.
Can't you just see the intelligence
level ingrained in the facial expression - quiet yet commanding.
You may notice a yellow glow
from above, but don't let this fool you into believing that this
is really an angel instead of a manimal. We don't believe in
such nonsense.
No wait, we really can't have
beliefs. We retract the above statement and amend it to be, "We
know for a fact that science has disproved the existence of angels."
There, that's better.

Here's a baby manimal cub depicted
with a full-sized human (see Frank's commentary) to give a sense
of scale. Obviously humans and manimals didn't live at the same
time.
Sadly there were some manimals
that seemed to revert back to their more primal nature. Like
this one for instance.
He was a school drop-out and
never held down a regular job. All he did was root around for
fermented fruits to ingest.
Was occasionally seen at path
corners panhandling for rotten fruit bits. Notice that his full
head of hair and teeth have fallen out due to neglect and poor
nutrition.
But even with all of this going
against him, this little hobo would always offer unsolicited
advice and wisdom so that you too could someday be as successful
as he.
This is the banana-fish. It was
the perfect manimal staple and became their main diet as primates
made the transition to more of a full-time carnivore.
But harvesting them was a bit
tedious as the banana-fish only grew on underwater trees.
