The issue is this, Major;
you may travel back to the historical
Garden of Eden & come upon the
original Adam & Eve but we have
no assurance that the primal human
pair will bear any resemblance to
present day man & woman. Willing
to chance it, the Major departed.
Upon his return, the Major reported
sighting what he took to be the first
abortion. When asked about the
mother, the Time traveler went silent,
then said, 'there was no father. It was
a case of spontaneous parthenogenesis.'
The scientists went away scratching
their heads; the Major never revealing
the truth that the woman who more so
resembled a large ape had roughly
taken to calling him "Ah-****'',
the word he'd shout during his ******.
