Absolutely fascinating! ⬇️🐟🐸🐈‍⬛🏋🏻

@Elisa This seems like a non-story to me. “Everything necessary was already there” is how all evolution works. Fish without lungs or limbs dont flop onto land and then evolve those things within the few minutes before they die.
@rspfau Hi! I didn't read it that way at all, rather than the basic instrumentation to evolve those abilities is there
