Oke jan ou ka devine sijè a se pa chokan jan tit mwen sijere, men mwen pa t 'kapab ede men vire soti nan atik la Guardian. Mwen vrèman jwenn li komik lè mwen rankontre nenpòt bagay ki di syantis yo “sezi”, “konble”, “choke”, “sezi”, – Mwen devine sa se yon sijè pou yon lòt fwa… Poutan a vrèman papiyon fre te parèt nan la “Sou entènèt jwèt Papiyon sansasyonalis” ekspozisyon nan mize Britanik nan Lond – yon gynandromorph bilateral! Gadyen an rapòte jodi a ke echantiyon sa a nan Papilio memnon jis parèt epi li kòmanse trase ti foul moun nan vizitè. Mwen konnen mwen ta renmen wè youn nan sa yo vivan ankò – byenke sitiyasyon an zou ta retire byen yon ti jan nan eksitasyon an. Mwen panse ke sèl bagay ki pi enteresan pase wè youn nan sa yo ap viv nan jaden an would be to net one myself!
One little thing tripped my skeptical sensors and that is the quote at the end of the article taken from the curator of butterflies, Blanca Huertas. “The gynandromorph butterfly is a fascinating scientific phenomenon, and is the product of complex evolutionary processes. It is fantastic to have discovered one hatching on museum grounds, particularly as they are so rare.”
Oke, I don’t specifically see how these are a “product of … evolutionary processes” inasmuch as tout life in tout forms is a product of evolution. These are sterile “glitches” that are cool, but not anything that has been specifically evolved for or against. Perhaps it would be more adept to call this a fascinating process of genetics (which the article actually describes with accuracy). Epitou – papiyon parèt tankou granmoun epi kale kòm cheni – men sa se jis m 'yo serye.
