The Indians who drank did so to the point of intoxication enjoyed the experience ...

The evolution of bipedalism for the early hominids was merely an adaptation to the newfound lifestyle that early man began to lead.

The stories that are told in Distant Mirrors reflect how people can be so comfortable with the way they live that they will never realize what is around them.
