Evolution

Though not an expert in the topic, I believe in the theory of the evolution of species through natural selection. This past week I came across two news items that talk about two different instances of "evolution at work".

The first, a group of lions in an island that evolved into a new "sort of" breed of lions that can swim and became strong enough to tackle their natural predator on the island, the giant buffalo.

The second one, in Africa, a group of people that have developed the ability of digesting milk in adulthood.

Both very interesting stories.
