We are speeding up evolution and not always in a good way...

From my morning paper. Tuskless elephants are evolving in response to war, poaching, and greed.

There's a last ditch effort to prevent the Northern White Rhino from becoming extinct. So sad - poaching over the last few decades was the driving force behind their decrease in numbers.

I have no words that can adequately describe the inhumanity of humans.
Only tears. That are never in short supply.

my hope is that the crocs and gators will out live us as a species because homo sapiens have proven to be a huge disappointment

I had feared that in the developed world evolution of the human race was no longer happening. In fact it was possibly happening in reverse with the most intelligent, well educated people having the fewest children.

Thankfully that problem has now been solved by the anti-vaxxers. Natural selection is working in full force!

I know its tragic, but It's hard to feel much sympathy.
