That’s fascinating and weirdly disturbing. I wonder if it felt agony? Fear? Regret?

Man, if I had a time machine and could go back to the billions of years when it was all soft bodied single and multi celled single critters. To see what things were like. It is completely possible there were completely different cell structures that died out and aren’t around anymore.

IIRC the first evidence we have for life is the Stromatolites left behind by cyanobacteria. I still need to hunt down a sample of them. IIRC the oldest are in Australia.

You hear a squish and suddenly sprout a tail and webbed fingers and feet.

The death of a single-celled organism is a tragedy. The death of a millions is a statistic.
