Humans are special, and we got that way thanks to evolution and natural selection. The proof is right there in our bodies! From anatomy to genes, here are some stories of how you got to be the way you are.

When you know what to look for, you see evidence for evolution everywhere. Where can YOU find it?
-
I love how one half of this comments is religion vs. evolution and the other is people being bummed evolution took away our tails so we can't be catgirls
-
Today I learned that me almost dying after noshing some chips due to hiccups is because of my crummy fish ancestor trying to survive.
-
Unfortunately the people who need to see this most probably never will.
-
Evolution gives me a greater respect for the universe
-
I would loved an extra eyelid, I hate when shampoo gets in my eyes.
-
If you STILL cannot grasp the fact of evolution, its okay. Your inability to understand evolution is not an argument against it.

When he says stay curious I literally feel like a biologist
-
“A kind of magic that still amazes you even when you know exactly how the magic is done.” I so dig that. Goosebumps.
-
And US vice-president still doesn't want to "believe" in this...
-
Fun fact: denying evolution is as stupid as being a flat-earther
-
After reading comments for more than haft an hours I came to the conclusion that people those are arguing against evolution know nothing about biology. They just watch some youtube video or read an article to support their beliefs
-
I am sorry, but evolution is a myth because I will adamantly ignore basic logic and reason to recognize evolution. Also, I will cherry pick information to support my argument and, when encountered with other information that threatens or up ends my claims, I will ignore it and not consider it. I will use every fallacious argument possible to say you are wrong and I am right.

Have a joke : Gnomes don't have chromosomes, they have gnomosomes

In live near the countryside and spend my time in a wood. I always feel more related to animals than humans. I can stay all day until night int the wood, finding water, running and resting under a tree, I can find the north, I can say what hour it is by looking at the sky. I observe how nature changes with seasons and animals' behaviour. Trying to integrate. And I feel something sacred in it. A big conection to everything. And wild animals seem to have accepted my presence there. They are even curious when I am training. Not the same in cities with humans and theirs problems. They seem detached from reality and have a huge bunch of problems due to worl, social issues, predominance, power, politics... I always felt more like an animal, I know it sounds weird. So happy that my genes tell a different story humans are used to. We are part of everything Loved this video

If it's REALLY ok to be smart, then WHY do I keep getting escorted out of Sunday School question time?

Linean Taxonomy perhaps is one good illustration of how evolution works. The grouping of organisms prove how organisms share common ancestors. Like for example, sharks/class chondrichthies, dunkleosteus/placodermi and tuna/class ostheichthies shares a common gnathostomata/jawed fish ancestor. Those 3 fish groups were separated from hagfishes and lampreys/class agnatha because they do not have bone and yet, they all share a common ancestor which is a creature with hard backbone/subphylum vertebrata.
