I happened to come across a paragraph in
The Science of Discworld:
'We could, for example, have pointed out that Darwin's theory of evolution explains how lower lifeforms can evolve into higher ones, which in turn makes it entirely reasonable that a human should evolve into an orangutan (while remaining a librarian, since there is no higher life form than a librarian).' 
About the wildfire, it seems getting worse by the year around the world, perhaps something to do with global climate changes and more human factors involved? In Spain and Portugal it has caused serious damages in recent years and most of the fire started by arsons. Every time when I think of these things I get into a Kurt Vonnegut mood - total despair: the earthlings are killing the planet as fast as they can; nothing can be done and it's already too late to do anything anyway.... Somehting like that. His famous saying:
'Life is no way to treat an animal'.
