ABSTRACT
This springtime metamorphosis is special. This anticipated event (especially for the frog) marks the end of winter, the rebirth of life, a rekindling of hope (especially for mankind). This yearly miracle of change sums up in a few months each spring what occurred over 3000 million years ago, when the frog evolved from its ancient predecessor. Today, however, something is different, strange, and wrong with this striking and miraculous event.
