So Many Evolution Articles So Little Time

After a week break from the blog, I had tons of ideas about what we could write about this week.  Initially, we were going to discuss the "Drunken Monkey Hypothesis."

Then, while reading the Drunken Monkey article, I got side-tracked by hummingbirds.

Then, I found this cool article on why zebras have stripes.

You pick.  Read an article and summarize what you have read.  Then relate it to what we have been talking about in class.   Maybe you have read another evolution article that you like better.  I can't wait to read it.   If you find another evolution article that interests you more, please send me the link, so I can approve it.

Giraffes with long necks?  Why is that?
