The fact that all mammals on this planet, including ourselves, have their origin in a tiny primate or pre-primate that weighed less than 20 grams, makes me very humble.
It lived during the early Paleocene, ~66 Million years ago, probably on trees. It had appeared pretty "soon" after the big bang. This alone is a miracle.
