If people had wings and could fly it would be considered exercise and nobody would do it.
If you look at birds like the kakapo, they would’ve had flight in the evolutionary past, but evolved out of it due to lack of predatory threat.
This can be part of Island syndrome, where the dodo also suffered from, till sailors came around and found out they were tasty.
Stunning creatures, sea lions.
Wonderful plumage.
Fierce Creatures (1997)
I’m good on the feathers I read the goosebumps book about learning to fly and it gave me a preview of my trypophobia when R.L. Stine described the feathers growing out of the main characters skin
ETA: it was “chicken chicken” not “how I learned to fly”
Huh? I just read this book and that was not in there. The kids just drank a potion and then could fly, there was no outward difference to them. Maybe you are mixing up a different one, like the chicken one? We just started that so idk how it goes. The cover has the girl as a chicken though.
Ahh I checked the synopsis and you’re right I definitely got it mixed up with another. I need to find it now.
ETA:Definitely the chicken one jeez it just gave me goosebumps
This sounds like a fun PhD project
No funding. Less fun
MF walking one way into getting a pile of teratomas
While we’re on the topic, we all have very slightly webbed digits, multiple involuntary reflexes for when we get wet, and a nasal/respiratory system that is (partially) adapted to swimming. I wonder how far our DNA could be pushed to pad out what was started here?
Our throat region seems poorly thought out. As somebody said recently, tube food goes in or you die is right next to tube food must never block or you die.
I want the damn feathers for the social aspect! If we were allowed to preen each other, the world would be a better place!
DNA power - ACTIVATE!!!
