a real question from my anthro homework (or, why i party with textbook authors)
hahahahahah i hope they made this joke on purpose.
On insect camouflage:
“The late paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould argued that although selection could perfect mimicry once it evolve, it could not cause resemblance to arise in the first place. ’Can there be any edge,’ Gould asked, ‘to looking 5% like a turd?’ Can you think of a reason why looking 5% like a turd would be better than not looking at all like a turd?”
