On the subject of evolution – they have found a plant that seems to have evolved to avoid being harvested by humans. Fritillaria delavayi, a Chinese medicinal plant, from regions that experience greater harvesting pressure are more camouflaged than those from less harvested areas.
All animals continue to evolve until they are optimal for their environment, like sharks. There is always change and the less optimal get weeded out in favor of the more optimal. This is why man is getting dumber; because optimal in this case means “more successful at reproduction” and smarter people tend to choose to have smaller families.

If you stops evolving, you risks going extinct. No, not you, monkeys. I was speaking to the hyoomans.

Stupidity is evolution’s answer to humanity.

Don’t let the lack of fur fool you, the ones outside the cage quit evolving some time ago.

In some cases it’s called deevolution. Many of them are running around loose these days.

Evolution actually doesn’t exist in their universe; they’re all subject to the whims of their almighty creator (Summers).
