The Forced March of the Penguins

It's interesting. Penguins and pandas are universally beloved creatures.

 

Snakes and spiders? Not so much.

 

I would put forth there is a default human emotional response associated with aesthetically pleasing or non-harmful creatures.

 

By the same token, we are hard-wired to be deathly afraid of anything that had a chance to kill us...back when we were all living on the plains of eastern Africa during the plastiscene.

 

This stuff is fascinating.

And what the hell is the plastiscene?

Rats? Like pandas are just big racoons?

 

And Tom, plastiscene is that modeling clay from the 60's/70's. Don't you remember when Eastern Africa was covered with the stuff? Terrible tragedy.
