As late as 12,000 breeding cycles ago, there were no safe ways when it came to food handling. Food was not a pleasure,  it was necessity. \u00a0Worms, mammals, birds, and fish were all eaten with the same purpose- survival.  At times, contaminated food killed the eater. There were no convenient coffee shops in the days of way back when.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did Dancers receive social callers?<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Lava Dancers\u00a0to you!<\/em> \u00a0All the worlds, and all the dimensions, came calling on the Lava Dancers. any, and all, specie made it&#8217;s peace, if possible, with the Lava Dogs and Dancers. The Dogs negotiated physical safety before they would allow any interaction. \u00a0The Dancers offered visitors, no matter their species, spiritual healing and vitality. \u00a0And then things evolved like things are prone to do and the landscape changed as did the Lava Dancers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_53\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/anderstomlinson.com\/artfeats\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/yellow-detail-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53\" title=\"yellow-detail-03\" src=\"http:\/\/anderstomlinson.com\/artfeats\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/yellow-detail-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anderstomlinson.com\/artfeats\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/yellow-detail-03.jpg 500w, https:\/\/anderstomlinson.com\/artfeats\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/yellow-detail-03-300x118.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-53\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Yellow Chin<\/strong> was willing to run and lose territory if it would avoid bloodshed.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>How did they evolve?<\/strong><br \/>\n12,000 breedings cycles from now, your question will provide insight on who, and what you really were. \u00a0It will not be flattering.
