Well, they questioned Darwin.
 
This is not meant as an attempt at humor. I have an actual, bona fide  
arthritic condition that is tied to a skin condition. It affects my joints - in  the 
joints themselves, and on the surface. I have wondered why, along with  
elbows, knees, wrists...does it also affect my tailbone...if the tailbone is not  
meant to be jointed?
 
When y'all stop laughing, I'll go on?
 
My point being...looking back oftimes means you're going to run smack-dab  up 
a pole. Maybe we need to quit looking back so much and start from scratch  
with the premise that humanity is basically good, and the wrongs done by the few 
 evildoers of the past (whom we seem to glorify more than the real  heroes) 
ought not to be brought to bear in judgement against the rest of  us.
 
Here again, first impulse is to branch off, in one's thinking, into  
philosophy, religion and politics. Beware. These are all man-made areas, created  to 
line someone's financial pockets, or the grey-matter pockets that are already  
lined with the lust for power or the lack of self-esteem that breeds cruelty.  
Just like time - a man-made concept. The sun goes down, the sun comes up. Who 
 are we to say what o'clock it is? We just need to use that time, however we  
perceive it, to do the best we can to care for ourselves and each other.
