Abantu banesidingo semvelo sokuphanda nokuphanda yonke into ebangqongileyo. Nangona indlela aphila ngayo namhlanje ayisafani naleyo ibiyiyo kumawaka eminyaka eyadlulayo, usenomdla wokwazi ukuba yintoni apha ngaphandle, ngaphaya kwemida yekhaya lakhe. Ke, ukwazile ukufumanisa ukuba kukho iintlobo ezininzi zezityalo, ezithi babe nookhokho abenza iplanethi ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-300 yezigidi eyadlulayo, xa kwakungekho zilwanyana.
Enye yezona zinto zimangalisayo ezifunyanisiweyo kwimbali yethu yamva nje yenziwe liqela labaphandi abavela kwiMyuziyam yaseSweden yeMbali yeNdalo: ifumene uthotho lwembewu yefossilis ekwimeko entle yolondolozo kangangokuba baye babavumela ukuba bazihlalutye. Iminyaka yakho? Le yeyona nto imangalisayo: malunga nezigidi ezili-130 zeminyaka.
Imbewu yinxalenye ebaluleke kakhulu yezityalo eziqhakazayo, ezibizwa ngokuba Iinkqubo. Kuzo ulwazi oluyimfuneko ngemfuza luyafumaneka ukuze lukwazi ukuntshula, lukhule kwaye lukhule ngendlela yokuba njengabantu abadala baya kufana nabazali babo, kodwa baya kwahluka kancinci: zinokuba zinde okanye zifutshane, zineentyatyambo iimilimitha ezimbalwa ezinkulu okanye ezincinci, okanye iingcambu ezinganyangekiyo. Kwaye, kuxhomekeke kwimeko yendalo esingqongileyo, izidalwa zezityalo kufuneka zivumelane notshintsho ukuba ziyafuna ukuphila.
Benza njani kwiintsuku zakudala? Lowo ngumbuzo obuzwa ngokubanzi ziingcali zezityalo kunye nee hobbyists. Enkosi kufundo olwapapashwa ngo indalo, ngoku banempendulo enye ubuncinci: besebenzisa i-accelerator yamasuntswana kunye ne-X-ray, bakwazi ukuyibona loo nto iimbumba zembewu zilinganiswe kancinane ngaphantsi kwekota yemilimitha.
Ngenxa yoko, izityalo zokuqala ukudubula, nangona zazinomjikelo wobomi obukhawulezileyo njengoko zazisenza iindawo zokuhlala ezingazinzanga, zazizizityalo ezincinci, kodwa iimbewu abazivelisileyo zinokuphila de iimeko zokuhluma zilunge, njengoko kwenza herbaceous namhlanje.
Kuyamangalisa, akunjalo? Ngokuqinisekileyo izityalo ziya kuqhubeka zisothusa rhoqo.
