Deformaties In Nature or Next Step Evolution
April 11th 2008 05:27
Could we be ready for another step in evolution, or is a deformaty of an individual?
To get an understanding of my theory read this. Evolution to me isn't one species leading to another species but rather an individual species means for survival. Animals do what they must to survive.
Deformity or evolution? Or maybe just laziness? Yes the animal kingdom is turning into the lazy humans that they associate with food and shelter!
Take the case of Woody with the overgrown pecker! Get your mind out of the gutter, it's not what you might think, it's a woodpecker with an overgrown beak. According to the article, the bird continues to live a normal life. Feeding, nesting(indicating offspring), etc., which indicate that the beak is not an infringement to survival for Woody.
My view is that these birds are evolving for survival like the pepper moth. Perhaps the beak can reach food easier that is deeper in a treetrunk. This means that Woody can dig farther and faster than normal woodpeckers.
The other side of this spectrum is that the woodpecker isn't doing what nature intended by keeping the bill trim and fit...thus making it kind of lazy! Hey as long as humans give out free food, most animals that would have died have a chance to survive.
The natural order dictates that wild animals survive by being in shape and alert or they might become the prey of a predator.
