I had not discovered a macro-mutation. I had merely stumbled upon another lovely adaptation in nature, itself the product of micromutation and natural selection.
I am bidden to surrender myself to the Lord of the Worlds.
He it is who created you of the dust . . .
- The Koran, Sura 40
Human beings grew up in forests; we have a natural affinity for them. How lovely a
tree is, straining toward the sky. Its leaves harvest sunlight to photosynthesize, so trees
compete by shadowing their neighbors. If you look closely you can often see two trees
pushing and shoving with languid grace. Trees are great and beautiful machines, powered
by sunlight, taking in water from the ground and carbon dioxide from the air, converting
these materials into food for their use and ours. The plant uses the carbohydrates it makes
as an energy source to go about its planty business. And we animals, who are ultimately
parasites on the plants, steal the carbohydrates so we can go about our business.
