    They went straight from biology to physics without any time to feel the in between. There are far worse ways to go.

      Skipping right past chemistry, sounds like a best case scenario.

        It’s actually from an XKCD what if (the light speed baseball pitch one I think). I believe the exact phrase was “You wouldn’t die of anything in particular. You would just suddenly stop being biology and start being physics.” I liked it so I stole it. I also like my modified version “They ascended from biology to a more pure science.”
