@luckytran THANK YOU 🙏🏽!! I’ve been wondering about this, I am getting so depressed about this clear #naturalselection message from politicians, namely: “you are vulnerable? Die! That’s your condition and fate, we have no time or space for you, we’re trying to live “normal” lives here”.

I asked ChatGPT to write an Eminem-style rap about Evolution and natural selection.
Call me impressed.

Dammit, I read an #article last week that I think I found here, about a species of bird, I think, that inherited newly learned predator evasion techniques in the next generation by a change in #DNA
Does anyone know what it was? I don't think I was dreaming!

#NaturalSelection isn't the same thing as #evolution & natural selection isn't the only driver of evolution.

When non-evolutionary informed people look in the mirror they may only perceive their biological age (not the same as time from birth as people age at different rates. Air pollution ages people). When evo informed people look in the mirror they can perceive the evolutionary outcome of billions of years of #NaturalSelection.

Charles Darwin was by no means the first person to consider #NaturalSelection (he didn't say he was), what Darwin did was to relate the idea (hypothesis) to the evidence in the natural world. Hence, we now have the robust evidence based theory of #evolution

The predators of flying insects, as with many people, don't recognise the difference between a stinging wasp & stingless wasp mimick.
Evolution, what organisms exist today, is the outcome of Natural Selection. Many species have acquired camouflage or mimicking adaptations.

On this, an "entropic" conjecture exists [1][2]:
"Once #misconceptions proliferate wide and long enough, criticizing them not only becomes increasingly difficult, efforts may even contribute to the continued spreading of the #myths" [1]
Rewarding "publication quantity will, in the absence of countervailing forces, select for methods that produce the greatest number of publishable results" leading to "the #NaturalSelection of poor methods and increasingly high false discovery rates" [2]

We’re all masturbators by evolution.
The non-masturbators died off enos ago, victims of natural selection and sperm competition.
You may not actively masturbate, but you are still a masturbator. It’s in your DNA.
Why not be the perfect masturbator that generations of your ancestors set you up to be?
Don’t let them down. Masturbate to your fullest potential!

Richard Eimer Lensk is the Hannah Professor of Microbial Ecology at Michigan State University. His research focuses on the genetic mechanisms and ecological processes that drive evolutionary change, and has attracted worldwide recognition for the immediacy of its insights into this usually unseen "force."
In June 2008 the popular science magazine New Scientist printed a story about Lenski's twenty-year project examining the #evolution of E. coli. They reported that, as a result of several beneficial mutations, his organisms had acquired the ability to metabolize citrate — or more correctly an ability to transport it through the cell wall prior to metabolizing it. This was an entirely new ability for this species — an increase in complexity provided by a beneficial mutation. This beneficial trait was then fixed in the population by natural selection.

Our extensively revised preprint now goes beyond clarifying Haldane’s arguments about the #CostOfSelection / #SubstitutionalLoad / #SelectiveDeaths, it also significantly extends them, and applies the resulting model to data https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.01.466728v2
