The idea that humans are uniquely the most resilient and somehow the 'most heroic' among all species in the theoretically infinite multiverse doesn't hold water."
He pauses over the bin, frowning.
"...Except, that's what the evidence seems to suggest, doesn't it?" Dustin shakes his head again. "--No, don't have enough data to make that assertion confidently. Correlation. I still think it's more likely that they're being influenced somehow."
