Evolution can be seen first hand. Take a scrawny wimp, for example, who's had enough of the bully kicking sand in his face at the beach (yeah the old cliché). What does he do? For the next couple of years he pumps iron three times a week (upper and lower body). Next time he goes to the beach the tides have turned. OK. So far so good.

The questions one could ask are: How then is the DNA modified? How many years (or generations) will it be before the offspring of x-wimp (aka the beast, now) will be born with the propensity to be large (or larger the wimp was)?

Check this out. I believe that will power plays a fundamental role in evolution.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
