Re: learned behavior aka memes
Stretching the neck out does not significantly change the length of the neck vertibrae, but continual body building can significantly alter the size of the muscles - one is bone and the other is tissue.
​
Minor nitpick - bone is also tissue and, at least in mammals*, can also be altered significantly by training.
​
*maybe in all vertebrates? Not sure on this.
​
Edited by caffeine, : No reason given.
