"The Evolution of Man"

We created agriculture. Then we created settlements. We built roads, we built houses. Then we built markets, and hence, society.
We formed relationships. As friends, then as spouses. We created offsprings and they took it forward. Then there came hatred, then envy, rivalry. Then superiority, inferiority. Then came celebrity and then, the common man.
Common Man was stratified into White, coloured and black. Master and servant. Caste and creed.
We grew food, then we wanted commodities. We made plates, glasses, jars. Someone decided to make it a profession. Thus came textile, cutlery, handicrafts, footwear. First came Cottage and then, Industry.
We realised Purchasing Power, we devised barter, and then currency. Then came moneylending and then, credit. We set up banks. We conceptualised finance.
We developed communication. We created languages. We discovered knowledge of things that wouldn't have mattered if we hadn't come this far already.
Thus came into picture, education. We created schools, then colleges. These taught us language, then math. We decided the importance of learning history and geography. We discovered physics and chemistry. We created art and learned to appreciate it. Music, literature, dance. And to remind ourselves of all that we had created, there was Theatre.
Thus, there arose the literate and the illiterate. The teacher and the student. Then the headmaster, supervisor, teacher, lecturer, professor, reader.
We discovered technology, we created travel and then a need to travel. There came carts, cycles, rickshaws, cars, buses, trams, trains, boats and ships. And then, aviation. We made roads and decided on traffic rules. There came a correct side of the road and a wrong one.
Society created norms and standards. It decided on ethics and conduct. It dictated morals and convention. It composed rules and regulations. Good and Bad. God and Devil. Karma.
Those who abided were sustained. For others, it made coventry and prison. In prison and outside, we saw cruelty and neglect. We saw atrocity and criminalisation. We saw discrimination. And penance.
From gathering and hunting food, we went to finding employment, garnering income and paying taxes. Banking and investments. Stocks and shares. We defined "Survival".
From the need of a cave to spend the night, we went to Real Estate. A hut, a cottage, an apartment, a house with a yard, a mansion. And in between, forts and palaces.
From gathering fruit and hunting meat, we went to cuisines in restaurants.
Friendship and fidelity.

Is man really an animal?
