MR. ANTROBUS: (rises and quiets applause) Fellow-mammals, fellow-vertebrates, fellow-humans, I thank you. Little did my parents think, - when they told me to stand on my own two feet, - that I’d arrive at this place.

[... … …]

As I told reporters of the Atlantic City Herold, I do not deny that a few months before my birth I hesitated between - uh - between pinfeathers and gillbreathing, - and so did many of us here, - but for the last million years I have been viviparous, hairy, and diaphragmatic.

Widler, Thornton, The Skin of Our Teeth, 1942, Concord Theatricals, pp. 52-54.
