“Survival of the fittest” doesn’t mean survival of the strongest, that’s not what meant.

It isn’t the strongest or most intelligent who survive, it’s those who are most adaptable to change.

Earlier today, I visited the Natural History Museum with a very dear friend of mine who happens to be a creationist. She objected that the dinosaur models of Deinonychus now have feathers. She prefers her dinosaurs as depicted in the film Jurassic Park. That's okay, because they were wrong even before we realised that many of the dinosaurs had feathers.

In other news, we're still friends

Scientists unraveled its extraordinarily complex genome of six chromosome sets, revealing a hybrid origin stitched together from multiple wild ancestors. This achievement not only sheds light on sweetpotato’s remarkable adaptability and resilience but also provides powerful tools for breeders to create higher-yielding, more nutritious, and climate-resistant varieties.
