Coevolution, not evolution

Yes, you have no reason to trust me:

I am not your elder, I am not from your tribe;

I may not even be your species or your type.

But, look at me.

Closely.

Do you not see you in me

The part that is the same

That unites

Life.

Or, have the words taught in school

Blinded you to what is in plain sight:

Life doesn't evolve, life co-evolves.
