- “The Ever-Branching Tree” by Harry Harrison, in Science against Man, edited by Anthony Cheetham (Avon Books, December 1970).
A Teacher takes a group of disinterested children on a field trip through time to see the evolution of life.
Yesterday we watched the lightning strike the primordial chemical soup of the seas and saw the more complex chemicals being made that developed into the first life foms. We saw this single-celled life triumph over time and eternity by first developing the ability to divide into two cells, then to develope into composite, many-celled life forms. What do you remember about yesterday?
