today I learned: scientists have recently discovered that wrinkly toes and fingers (caused by being in water for a while) are actually an evolutionary mechanism to improve traction and grip in wet conditions. oh, and when a caterpillar enters the chrysalis, enzymes dissolve it completely into fluid... and then the entire body of the butterfly-- including organs and nervous system-- is rebuilt from the cells. does anyone else's mind blown?
