#chabbits were not naturally selected

would vestigial be the best way to describe a chabbit’s wings? Seeing as they were never flight capable to begin with.
That's a great question, because afaik "vestigial" describes an ancestral trait that through evolution, has lost its functionality in a given organism. Chabbits... uh... were not selected for by the usual evolutionary processes, and have polyphyletic ancestors. Describing GMOs with evolutionary terms gets weird fast
#chabbits were not naturally selected#but if you wanna get real weird about it#maybe we can argue that humans are part of the natural world#thus selection and engineering by humans is an extension of natural selection#and so GMOs are ''naturally'' evolved. totally.#jaytext#runaway to the stars
