What if Earth isn't the first human colony, and these disasters have merely wiped out the evidence of our migration...
I am more comfortable being a descendant of some ape, than a bunch of hairdressers or telephone cleaners.
Will you give something to the future, or will you just be another leech?
Does one hell of a mess to clean up and having them pick up the tab count?
