Yes

Then
it
must
be
common
knowledge
that
evolution
proceeds
at
a
fairly
rapid
pace
.
Fifteen
thousand
Centuries
from
ape
to
Homo
sapiens

Twissell
said
again

"
and
you

from
the
95th

The
time
between
our
homewhens
is
twice
the
total
length
of
time
of
man
’
s
existence
in
the
Primitive
,
yet
what
change
is
there
between
us
?
I
was
born
with
four
fewer
teeth
than
you
,
and
without
an
appendix
.
The
physiological
differences
about
end
with
that
.
Our
metabolism
is
almost
the
same
.
The
major
difference
is
that
your
body
can
synthesize
the
steroid
nucleus
and
my
body
can
’
t
,
so
that
I
require
cholesterol
in
my
diet
and
you
don

I
was
able
to
breed
with
a
woman
of
the
575th

That

s
how
undifferentiated
with
time
the
species
is

Harlan
was
unimpressed
.
He
had
never
questioned
the
basic
identity
of
man
throughout
the
Centuries
.
It
was
one
of
those
things
you
lived
with
and
took
for
granted
.
He
said
,
"
There
have
been
cases
of
species
living
unchanged
through
millions
of
Centuries
.
"
"
Not
many
,
though
.
And
it
remains
a
fact
that
the
cessation
of
human
evolution
seems
to
coincide
with
the
development
of
Eternity
.
Just
coincidence
?
It
’
s
not
a
question
which
is
considered
,
except
by
a
few
here
and
there
like
Sennor
,
and
I
’
ve
never
been
a
Serinor
.
I
didn
’
t
believe
speculation
was
proper
.
If
something
couldn
’
t
be
checked
by
a
Computaplex
,
it
had
no
business
taking
up
the
time
of
a
Computer
