The whole Bible is a chronicle showing us how we are progressing on this way toward perfection. That part of Genesis is therefore a prophecy, yet to be fulfilled, for the day of ultimate perfection is yet to come. So "man was made perfect" is a prophetic goal to aspire to. Maybe we are not even true MAN yet but just some part of the link between Apes and MAN
That's very interesting, and I can't say I haven't thought of it. Science is continuously evolving, (or man merely discovers its evolution as time creeps forward)
I can't help but wonder if we are too, physiologically.
