I kind of get a kick of it when I get reported. I mean, I'm the admin on my instance. The sole admin. I always like to imagine that whoever reports me thinks that I'm going to ban myself.
Mitochondrial eve is an established theory suggesting that there is literally a single woman who all humans descend from.
Apparently human beings have an unusually similar genetic structure compared to many other species.

I have to ask... What is the effective difference between evolution and devolution?
Life is continuously changing due to environmental factors such as radiation changing DNA or viruses moving genes between species, and the changes that cause forms of life to die out don't continue, and the changes that cause forms of life to thrive do continue. This process is evolution, and it's an obvious consequence of living in a world that will allow you to die without breeding if you're unfit.
So effectively, all changes are evolution if the species continues to survive and reproduce. Is devolution then just evolution that doesn't move in the direction we would prefer it to move in?
