MAN(4)

NAME
man - Mostly Harmless

SYNOPSIS
man is a primitive bipedal creature descended from apes.

DESCRIPTION
man originated on a small and insignificant planet named Earth, far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy, which was once also home to the vastly more intelligent species known as Dolphin. Should you encounter a man Don't Panic, as it is likely to be greatly confused in seeing a creature which obviously originated on another world, which is something which is simply incomprehensible and therefore it must be Thursday. Not to be confused with the Unix man(1) command, useful for retreiving helpful instructions describing the usage of various small utilities and programming functions on Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems, and also for viewing this document.

HISTORY
Bloody, violent and generally the sort of reading material that might keep a person up at night. Modern man first appeared on the African continent circa 200,000 BC.

AUTHOR
man is the product of natural evolution, which may or may not have been directed by this God person, who may or may not exist.
