The end as we know it
Okay, this is the end. As Darwin once said, “my only friend, the end”… No, that wasn’t Darwin! Darwin actually said, “in the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too), those who learned to collaborate and improvise most … Continue reading

The Flightless Cormorant: Devolution on the Galapagos
How about that… a creature that is transmutating right in front of you? The Flightless Cormorant is a true icon of Evolution… I’m not sure that Darwin even took much notice of this animal during his Galapagos travels. It’s possible … Continue reading
