Breaking news.... There is a frog that can breathe through its skin. He's LUNG LESS! By absorbing oxygen through his skin, he has no need for them. David Bickford from the National University of Singapore has described the development as "evolving backwards". This makes me wonder what the first thing humans would lose if we evolved backwards.
I would hope it would be something like toe hair, which is not an attractive quality no matter who you are. (Unless you are Beyonce or Jessica Alba and are required by Hollywood Law to remove it). Unfortunately our predecessors were covered in hair, so this may not be the first option. It would probably be something like the appendix or gallbladder, something we can already live without.
But what if it was something like our pinkies? Where would Donald Trump put his pinkie ring? Or what if it was our kneecaps and we had jelly legs?
I think it is time to stop. My terrible past with icky Biology videos is coming back to haunt me, specifically that one with the man born without skin.
