Aliens in our midst
The ctenophore’s brain suggests that, if evolution began again, intelligence would re-emerge because nature repeats itself.

Pretty fascinating stuff.
@Devils_Rancher I don't believe evolution has stopped. It goes on as humans are growing taller, developing fewer teeth and slowly edging toward 8 toes.
@DistroJunkie I’d figure we’d lose our toes completely over the next 100,000 years or so. I wish the empathy gene would win out over the competition gene at some point.
