I hear folks saying bugs are dying off because of changes in the environment, but shouldn’t bugs be some of the best equipped to handle changes? I imagine they reproduce faster than humans, and so I’d think their genes could adjust faster as well. You’d think we’d be having a worse time than bugs as the environment changes?
In: Biology
that’s not how evolution works. adaptions happen over time. As the environment changes, the ones that can survive those changes survive and pass their genes on. So a lot will die, and the survivors gradually repopulate the world with more resilient offspring.
