Real biologists who actually do the research will tell you that they almost never find a phenomenon, no matter how odd or irrelevant it looks when they first see it, that doesn't prove to serve a function. The outcome itself may be due to small accidents of evolution. ↗

If I could have been a marine biologist I would have, but I didn't have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point. ↗

All evolutionary biologists know that variation itself is nature's only irreducible essence... I had to place myself amidst the variation. ↗
