      On the biological level, true enough.

      I find it kinda fascinating that every single ancestor of mine lived long enough to procreate. My life can be directly linked to some unknown single celled organisms billions of years ago and every evolutionary step between those and a human, that’s really weird to think about.

        It’s not his best work, but Mike Skinner made a song about it a decade or two ago. Like. Almost verbatim what you typed which is why I remembered it.

        For billions of years since the outset of time

        Every single one of your ancestors survived

        Every single person on your Mum and Dad’s side

        Successfully looked after and passed onto new life

        What are the chances of that like?

        Not like it’s a bad song, it’s just Mike fucking Skinner, so he’s got a pretty high standard for one of his best songs.
