Human Are Still Evolving and In Some Really Bizarre Ways

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change, that lives within the means available and works co-operatively against common threats." EDIT Leon C. Megunson, misattributed to Charles Darwin "The most important factor in survival is neither intelligence nor strength but adaptability." Charles Darwin

If you travel a lot you see a lot of cases where the locals are the only ones that can drink the local water without getting sick.

I find it funny that someone may even think humans have stopped evolving or that evolution can be stopped.

Immunity to arsenic sounds badass.

I worked in a very deep Nickle mine in Canada (Creighton mine if you're curious, i worked on the 7,800ft to 8,400ft development for 3 years, yes 8400 feet deep, its hot!!) We had crickets that would get underground by hopping on pallets and equipment going down, and they would live in the lunchrooms, which were painted all white, WELL they would go into the mine black but their babies were always white to camouflage in the lunchrooms That always blew my mind that i got to see evolution/adaptation in real time

Dogs have developed "eyebrows" to better communicate with us. We are all evolving constantly just as the universe is.

Epigenetic Impacts (Dutch Hunger Winter, 1944-45): While not a change to the underlying DNA sequence, the famine in the Netherlands toward the end of the war caused epigenetic changes (DNA methylation) in the children born to pregnant mothers who survived the famine. These changes altered how genes were expressed and resulted in long-term health effects (such as obesity and diabetes) for generations.

From Wikipedia: In Austria, there lived the so-called "arsenic eaters of Styria", who ingested doses far beyond the lethal dose of arsenic trioxide without any apparent harm. Arsenic is thought to enable strenuous work at high altitudes, e.g. in the Alps.

2:53 My hometown is known for it's high arsenic levels. Partly it was learned because of a rich dude whose wife failed to poisen him, because he was already used to high arsenic levels. Also my hometown is notoriously famous for it's birth defects. Arsenic actually gives the tapwater a nice sweet touch.

I don't know if i can go through my day without being called a wonderful person by Anton
