Valves i'm Veins Prove Man Descended

In the veins of human beings, as

check-valves that relieve the back
pressure of the blood and prevent it
from flowing the wrong way. In all

are needed to prevent back pressure,
and none are found in this position.

What Did America

This question is going the rounds
