I was reading the other day that humans have evolved in their romantic choices or selective breeding practices. In the past, humans selected mates based solely on their strengths (physical, mental, emotional, etc. Men had to be physically strong; women had to be tall and voluptuous enough to carry a child; everybody had to be confident and content and faithful to a higher spirit. When societies progressed technologically, in industry, and medically, what became a -strength- evolved. People chose the -smartest- and -healthiest- (healthy being cleanliness, eating well-balanced meal, hygiene, grooming, exercising, etc) individuals as opposed to the superficially strongest. Today, humans are not as likely to choose the strongest partners physically or mentally. They are also not likely to care if someone is the smartest. They are likely to choose partners they can dominate or co-exist with peacefully, which can include humans who may have been considered -flawed- in the past. This shows that humans are still evolving as creatures and still adapting to our environment.

It's so cool that grass grows the same way that fingernails do, it's almost like the earth is touching us when we walk on it. Also, I was always taught that yawning was a multipurpose tool in the sense that it generates an empathic response in other individuals and it's a good way to see who feels connected to us. Another thing it does is stimulate the tear ducts, generating lubrication for the eyes so if your eyes are dry then your body will produce a yawn which ties into why we yawn when we're tired.

It's interesting to think of dna and its many processes as a computer that writes its own code, bumping into every problem blindly, failing, and creating a fix around it the next time. Like how do you think DNA would be able to assemble genomes like that. Has it always known what to do since the very first organisms, or is it something built up over an extremely long time?

About the future of our evolution:
In my old biology class a student said to our teacher -We used to adapt to nature to and now nature has to adapt to us-.
Which was quite a huge eye opener and our old teacher uses that comment till this day.

Speaking of MAD. I'll feel bad about the polar bears who either -adapt- or, more likely, die because they'd be closer to human civilization. They'd be more dangerous than a regular bear too, causing a hunt.

Please tell me he is a teacher, he has captured my attention in the same ways my favorite and best professors have. They way he speaks is so informative and makes me want to learn more and ask more questions.

Blue eyes aren-t weird af, they-re beautiful af!
What-s the advantage of having them? Well, the same reason birds have such colorful plumage: to attract a mate and ensure their genes are passed down.

There are recorded instances of -extinct- creatures that have comd back to existence. Meaning that the science isn't perfect and not every -extinct- creater is actyally extinct.

As for species that are extinct coming back.
I think there's a bird or 2 that keep doing exactly that, but I'm unsure whether it's hogwash or not.
