~World History~

It all began with a huge, or maybe small, explosion leaving primordial goop and lightning and probability on Earth. Somehow, 20 amino acids, left-handed ones and right-handed ones ( they were the same shape, but not congruent and had to be distinguished that way ) combined and produced the first complete protein. Want to know who discovered amino acids on Earth? 'Twas Galileo himself! How likely is that? And he found them in the bottom of a wine barrel. No, no, no, they, not Gslileo, were in the barrel. Pay attention, dummkopf! These proteins eventually and somehow turned into single-cell organisms in the oceans, or wherever. Then all kinds of fish came, fish with legs even. Over the years, they crawled onto the land and continued to develop and change. Finally the monkeys came, then the apes. In a long time they intermingled and mutated into some very weird things that could not survive and finally an extremely weird one that could, man, defined as upright, more or less. All the time, even back to fish days there was fighting--mostly about money, food, and the women. Somehow rules were made. But they were broken continuously. And weapons came along. That's when the trouble began. Fighting became always deadly, not just sometimes injurious.
Then tribes began to develop--big extended families and cousins and relatives lived close. About a hundred or so were normal, but not large. They got so large they had to be controlled. That was a big problem. Much death occurred to establish the first tribes, then countries with laws. They got big and kept changing and changing. Bigger if they won, smaller if they lost. Trading stuff started and with it awful fusses about everything. Gold and gems were valuable. The first money was gold.
Once countries were established, their people tended to stay. It was hard to live in one then go live in another. Basic. This resulted in people from certain countries looking alike, but different from other countries. That's been trouble ever since; a demarcation of the mass of people in the world by boundaries that are natural. Countries didn't fight--they had wars. If things weren't even all around, they fought to the death about it. Men with a lot have a terrible time protecting it.
Jumping ahead, countries fought and fought and fought about everything until things reached some kind of equality. But individuals as well as controllers still needed to fight. So there was a war that covered the whole world. Then another one! And two other wars called 'conflicts.' later. Then the highest controllers--the government--became a big ship of fools and almost gaily led the way to the end by resorting to unthinkable responses to unthinkable forces.
About a billion years later the same thing happened again. Including all about dinosaurs and origin things. And the monkeys did the exact same thing--blew it all up.
