𓀐 @Eo+ugShR: I don't really get evolution. I mean I read this book, very interesting, but I don't really understand why every animal isn't intelligent. It seems like the most useful trait by far and one that would be easily selected for since smarter creatures would have a better survival rate. Random mutations of things like air-breathing lungs and wings would be way harder to select for. Let's talk wings for a second. Birds come from reptiles, I can buy that. But an animal can only fly if it has a lot goi…

>>25586204 >The only way to refute natural selection is to refute the idea that traits are passed on through the generations, which is again just obviously true. The problem is that there is no sexual selection mechanism that can actually account for deleterious mutations that lie dormant throughout entire generations, until it suddenly becomes a huge problem later on down the road. Knowing species can adapt and thrive in their environments in the short term does not explain how this process is…
