[sigh] Why can't we all just get along? Unless scientists can prove otherwise, we're all from the same tree making up the different branches. Perhaps we need a common enemy from outside to meld us together ... of course, why would an outsider automatically be an enemy.

Thanks for sharing the story of the picture. As stated, we can be easily pushed one direction or another by the journalists and politicians.

Politics - broken down: poly=many tics=blood sucking insects
ERGO: an infestation of blood sucking pests.

Mate, If heard from an alien planet that was stuffing things up as badly as we are here, I'd rather not talk to them or let them know we exist. Maybe that's the answer to Fermi's 'paradox'?
