How touristic desire drove evolution

Of all the organs, a brain most likely makes the most requests and also has expectations about how you carry those out. It might seem that the brain's needs are few: sleep, physical safety, substances. When we look closer, we find that just about everything we do is being manipulated and maneuvered by a slimy blob that makes up a negligible part of a body's weight. 

We know that the brain includes an archetypal inclination toward surviving underwater. It's clear from the structure of our lungs and the constant squeezing of liquid through the heart that we were once jellyfish-like animals or barnacles, either propelling ourselves along involuntarily or constantly gulping and spitting seawater, as a way of life, while stuck to the side of a rock. 

Ks too have hearts that once must have pumped them very quickly through a marine environment, as many of us have dreamed of doing. They were able to scoop up massive amounts of plankton or any unlucky passersby. But their gills evolved into wings. They learned at first from the Gerridae, the water walkers, about the air line and how to break through for food and stunning dry land panoramas. 

It was that ultimately touristic desire to see more, see it all, that drove them upward. 

Paradoxically, in an ecosystem shared with other beasts, they became the biggest circus, what no one could not gaze up at, what all best learn to do for protection from the newly hostile skies above.
