In last night’s news segment, there was an article about a female Hammerhead Shark who gave birth to a baby shark, without sperm from a male. By fertilizing her own eggs in a process called parthenogenesis, she pretty much punched me in the face in a proof that evolution works.
Now, I don’t know if you know this, but I’m not follower of the whole evolution thing. I never believed that drastic changes can occur, even in a time frame of millions of years. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t buy creationism either. But for the first time I lived through something that shows pretty much how survival changes a lifeform.
If you may, I think I have a list of possible bodymods for humans; evolution, it’s your turn now:
- Cancer-proof blood cells
- Knowing when your cellphone rings, even if muted and not in eyesight
- Breathe underwater
- Release of Endorphins during stress periods
- (I can go on forever)
So, evolution, where are you now?
