The crowning work of all creation and evolution, Mankind stands uncovered in all its fallen, naked glory amidst ruins brought about by the fall.

The onlookers look on.

Perhaps another species, the apes, or the enshrined black Panther might have fared in the test, better.

Behold the onlookers. See we not in their eyes care, love, communion, thoughtfulness, and shimmering intelligence? Had a different species been a ruler in all the earth, would it too have fallen, bringing misery, death, and ruin? Does it signify a God unfolding terror upon the creations?

Was it right then, that mankind be made the greatest? Is a dark future devoid of any rationalism or order ahead of us ? Was evolution a mistake?
