The Ever-Branching Tree

by Harry Harrison

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?
