    Yes, they did though. That’s the purpose of this evolutionary trait. I see what you’re getting at, but you seem to be implying this was a concidence

      Every evolutionary trait is coincidence. If it was adaptation we’d be able to regrow vital organs.

        that’s not how that works, we cant regrow (most) vital organs (liver says hi) because of “engineering problems” not because evolution is random. we personify adaptations to understand them, it can lead to issues but yours is a massive overcorrection.
