How does evolution work? 🤔🤔

To survive, living things adapt to their surroundings. Occasionally a genetic variation gives one member of a species an edge. That individual passes the beneficial gene on to its descendants. More individuals with the new trait survive and pass it on to their descendants. If many beneficial traits arise over time, a new species—better equipped to meet the challenges of its environment—evolves.

In other words!!!!

"Survival of the fittest"is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory as a way of describing the mechanism of natural selection. The biological concept of fitness is defined as reproductive success. In Darwinian terms the phrase is best understood as "Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations."

How are humans and monkeys related? 🤔

Humans and monkeys are both primates. But humans are not descended from monkeys or any other primate living today. We do share a common ape ancestor with chimpanzees. It lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. But humans and chimpanzees evolved differently from that same ancestor.

All apes and monkeys share a more distant relative, which lived about 25 million years ago.

So never say or believe "We are from Monkey", we are from totally another family.

Dolphins sleep with one eye open.

Dolphins are known to be one of the smartest animals on the planet—possibly because they can conserve their brainpower. Because they must be constantly on the lookout for predators, the marine mammals have developed a neat trick of maintaining partial consciousness even as part of their brain sleeps.

It happens with common porpoises, bottlenose dolphins and some whales too.

How far do elephants walk in a day?🤔

Despite their massive size, elephants are actually pretty nimble and can walk up to 195 km per day, although they usually only average is only 25 km on a daily basis.

The average Human walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, or roughly 1.5 to 2 miles only.
