"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

The 1st thing I had to do this morning was hunting and killing two flies. They're dead and that's a good thing. We share an ancestor with flies. That ancestor lived about 736,000,000 years ago. Even though they are our cousins it's OK to kill them if they get into your house.

The common ancestor of human apes and cockroaches. Also, how to properly cook cockroaches to eat.
According to TIME TREE, the common ancestor of human apes and cockroaches lived 797,000,000 years ago.
According to Google: You can eat cockroaches! Just not the ones you find around your house. Contrary to popular belief, cockroaches can actually be very clean and tasty insects, especially if they are fed on fresh fruits and vegetables. They can be eaten toasted, fried, sauteed, or boiled.
Also, according to Google: Cockroach farming is booming in China as the country looks for new, cheaper medicines for its rapidly ageing population. The correct way to eat a cockroach, at least in this corner of northern China, is to fry it not once but twice in a wok of smoking hot oil.
