They must be explicable in terms of fundamental laws, some
of them from physics, and yes Mr. Clarke is correct. There
must be regularity or pattern; otherwise where is the
science?

we have smaller ears than chimps. thank you. Regular rules
follow; elephants ears might have to do with increasing
surface area because of its mass.

short arms. Legs are from AAT as we keep saying.

Lower lives grow slowly. And we are quite large. Except for
the gorilla we top the list in our group.
