[Intro]
A being is a being
A machine is a machine—Girl
Most humans would believe these two states to be exclusive, separate orders of existence
And yet, they are not
The key is neoteny, the retention of characteristics from an earlier stage of development
A human fetus follows the path paved by its ancestors, evolving in the womb from unicellular, to amphibian, to mammal, to man
There were those who believed that humanity was the end of the progression, the end product of natural evolution
