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
Biologically, they adapt much faster. Some bugs will have 10,000 generations in the lifespan of one human.
But far more unique stressors get invented or introduced in that one lifespan of a human than bugs would face through evolutionary means.
