Evolving Fish of the Lower Congo
via Pharyngula we get this amazing video of “Evolution in Action” by the American Museum of Natural History.
I’m with Myers on this:
They too briefly showed a blind depigmented cichlid that apparently lives in very deep troughs in the river — I wanted to see more about that. It’s probably out of the question to send divers down into that maelstrom, but cameras? Someday? Please?
Evolution is one of those things that’s so strikingly obvious when you see it. How ELSE would these two apparently identical populations have such different genes? It certainly makes no sense for them to have been “individual creation events” – how awesome that species CAN adapt and evolve to their constantly changing environments. Very cool video.
