So are scorpions alot toughr than mites or spiders ?
curioucity said:Virus couldn't be that durable, since as we know, virii are pure parasites, they MUST live in a living being (though I read that some can survive some time without living substrates before leaving for Hades). Not to mention that virus isn't actually an animal nor plant.....

Humans are the most fragile species in the world...the more complex structure an species have,the more vulnerable and fragile is
Crocs have survived almost without changin since we were nothing more than tree shrews. They carried on when the big dinosaurs all died. Apart from killing people who swim with them they must be pretty tough + stubborn as a species..I bet crocodiles were at 10th place of the top ten toughest animals

We arent very strong or fast for our size and we cant take much cold or heat, but we are good all rounders. we can run a long way if we're fit, we can swim beter than most land animals - other apes cant swim. We cant eat a very big range of foods, not just grass or fish or whatever. We work togehter well and swap ideas beter than any other animal. most of all, we learn and build!
More complex doesnt have to mean weaker. I mean, a shark is much more developd than a sea slug, and much harder to kill!

Gravage said:Crocodiles survived without changing because they live in water,every species that lives in water could have survived that asteroid collision..
Gravage said:Hi,Jenny!
Yes,we're weaker,our brain is getting smarter,but our bodies are getting more and more fragile,in the end it seems to me we would end up like Stephen Hawking.

jennyRater said:Nah, peoples bodies will get stronger + healthier in future from delibrate genetic changes - not natural evolution. We'll all be athletes, we'll be freefrom diseses or deformitys, we will live 3x as long.
