LOOKING... ...AT LIFE 8y Eridi Brandeis A reader in Hollv^ood, Calif., objects to something I wrote About MAN. It was after a hurricane when Nature certairry showed us how close we still were to monkeys, how helpless we were in the face of just one stiff wind, how our great technical skill faded into insignificance with one mighty blow of Eeolus. It was not at all nice of men to make MAN appear so insignificant, she said in her letter. MAN. :,he claims, is the noblest creature of God. Man, in hei opinion, is the Alpha and Omega of everything and she isn't talking about either sex, but both about male and female MAN. the human being. To prove her point, and as a matter ol comparison, she encloses a newspaper clipping about Polymorphous Altaniani. “Now there is .something that is really low." she writes. "There is something to which what you wrote about MAN would apply. “You ought to be ashamed of yourself to have such a low opinion about something that only God could have created and that is fine and noble and beautiful."

Well, when it comes to beauty, all I have to do is to look into the mirror; and when it comes to "fine and noble,” all I have to do is to read the newspaper. But that is neither here nor here. Get us see who this “low" Polymorphous Altamani is. "It s a worm, and Homer T. Russell, a zoologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. is making a study of it. although I cannot, for the life of me. see why.

The Polymorphous is very’ tiny and hitchhikes his way through life—just as, it seems to me, a lot of humans do. He would never be bom, in the first place, if the egg from which it hatches had not been ingested by a sand crab. That is the only place where the Polymorphous egg will hatch. Then some marine bird, like a gull or a skooter, has to ea‘ the sand crab, in order that the larva may become an adult worm. That is the only place where a Polymorphous can possibly grow and prosper—inside marine birds. The spiney-headed adult worm must produce a tremendous amount of eggs. Otherwise the chance that a sand crab would ingest an egg and that the particular sand crab would b- eaten by a marine bird might be too much of a long shot for its survival and successful career as a full grown Polymorphous

Altamani. Yet there are millions of the adults in existence and. for that kind of a worm, lead prosperous and abundant lives.

What is MAN then? How good? How bad? How important ? How big ? How small ? No matter how insignificant he may be. says my Hollywood reader, he

Yes. I do believe with my California friend that MAN is somewhat more important than the little worm above described. Yet, if another big hurricane or tornado or earthquake comes along, j Man, Sand crab, marine bird and worm will all go down to- j gether. I have always been a bit amused by the legend from Norse mythology of how Man was created although it has no more to do with his actual existence than the Polymorphous Altamani. According to old Nordic belief, there was Audhumla, the sacred | cow, from whose udders flowed the four rivers of milk which I nourished the giant Ymir. out of whom the world was shaped. • Dorr, the first man, was made by * her licking salt from the snow’, i
