For it to be ‘phased out’, it would have to be selectively bred for, which I’m certain they wouldn’t do by themselves, considering it’s already an evolutionary adaptation.
@Lord WyrmSpawN
You say that like evolutionary adaptations don’t phase out. Or are you saying that aquatic critters didn’t lose their fins when they became land-dwellers? And we have to wonder if they even developed knots as we think of them if pokemon are sapient enough to give consent (at least in the world of the image we’re talking about). Humans lack knots, so it might be that sapience makes them obsolete and ineffective.
@Meanlucario
What the hell does sapience have to do with biology, and what does biology have to do with consent? And what does any of them have to with fuckin’ knots?
And, on the subject of animals losing fins, fuck if I know, because as far as I recall that happened in reverse, with whales.
@Lord WyrmSpawN
Sapience might have made knots irrelevant, hence my point. I mean, it’s already a leap claiming that pokemon are sapient, but you already gobbled that leap with ease. Humans are the only sapient species we know off, we have only ourselves to base things on.
You seem to forget that the theory of evolution is that all life was aquatic before they evolved to live on land instead.
@Meanlucario
I didn’t gobble anything, I asked what relevance that has to the argument. Sapience does not will away biological adaptations without active cultivation.
@Meanlucario
And neither, you will notice if you look, does any other primate. It’s more likely we never had them or found ‘reason to shed them’, rather than having the option and goin’ “No way, dude”.
