Not in person, but videos.

But what would cause them to develop the webbing in the first place?

No.

I was watching a documentary once on the BBC about the Congo.

And it's a really amazing documentary.

And one of the things that it points out to is the rapid development of new abilities that these animals have that live in the Congo that used to be on the plains.

And as the rainforest expanded, they were kind of trapped in here.

And one of them they pointed to was duikers, you know, those little small antelopes.

that now have the ability to swim underwater for as much as 100 yards, and they eat fish.

And they were talking about it like this is this fantastic development because they know how long it took for the grasslands to have been overtaken by the rainforest, and it wasn't that long.

And it didn't seem to account for the adaptation that they were seeing in these animals.

Well, it's a story with humans, right?

Inuits.

It's a story with people that live in extremely cold climates, right?

They've developed all these adaptations to be able to survive in this intense weather where people who live in the tropics, if you moved them to that environment, they would die.

I've always been fascinated by animals that don't change.

Like animals that have reached some very bizarre apex predator, like crocodiles, for instance.

So it's just essentially evolution nailed it.

They developed an animal that's so adaptive and so designed to succeed in this particular environment that it doesn't really need to change.

When you talk about humans, one of the things that fascinates me about people is the changes in human beings because of the environment, because of input, meaning like certain chemicals were exposed to, sedentary lifestyle.
