The intrepid paleoanthropologists, physiologists and philosophers were unanimous in their findings related to the bone structures of the ancient, extinct inhabitants of a small, primarily watery planet on the edge of the Milky Way, a brief stopover on their interstellar itinerary:

1: The broad, flat bones topping both sides of the
long, vertabrated central structure were apparently
the apposable component of the wing structure with
which the former denizens of the planet flew.
Although, given the inhabitants limited size and
disproportional weight, if they flew at all, it was neither at any great speed nor for any great distance.

2: The narrow circular bone near the base of the skull
found on some of the more recently ( approximately 2.6
million years ago), terminated terestrials proves that
at some point, their capacity for flight began to
gradually disappear, due either to a rise of more
advanced modes of movement, as found on our planet:
(telekinesis; thought transference; molecular transport;
light wave attachment)
OR,
since no evidence of these more advanced methodologies
was discovered, the evolutional “forgetting” of
their primordial potential,

3: In all probability, (given the obvious benefits of
flight and its enhanced development) it was the afore-
mentioned “forgetting” which lamentably contributed
to the species gradual diminishment and ultimate
extinction.

CONCLUSION- WRITTEN BY PHILOSOPHER, AMUND DUDGE:

DESTINY IS OPTIONAL. WOVEN INTO “MANIFEST” IS “MAYBE”.
A RETREAT FROM IT IS AS LIKELY AS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF IT.
AND OF THIS, WE CAN SURMISE, THE EXTINCT SPECIES
DIVINITIES WERE AWARE.
