That's my favourite part of being Human: we're pretty awesome at adaptation.

I believe that is an understatement - we are properly the single best species at that.

That's a self-deceptive way of looking at evolution. Every species currently in existence is equally good at adaptation.

Not really - only humans have been able to adapt from walking 7 miles an hour to flying faster than the speed of sound in less than 100 years.

Not the ones that are on their way out soon...
