      People don’t get the timescale of an evolutionary feature like this. And how long it was only kinda bird like.

      Intuitively understanstanding evolution is something most people dont need so i cant really fault people for it. But yeah either trolling or actually stupid who knows.

        I do wish that the personification of evolution wasn’t such a thing. People so often attribute reasoning or intention to the process, when there is no such thing.

          Wait until they advance and start thinking about things like, how did plants find out what bees like to eat. This will spook them to mind-blown town.

        LOL, how meta (“people haven’t evolved to understand evolution”).
