Re: definitly weird

It sure is a weird way of looking at it.
I don't think its that weird; it is indeed possible for an organism to evolve in a way that makes it overly dependant on a prevailing environmental feature. Arguably, the panda being only sexually receptive 3 days in the year and being dependant on one foodstuff of an example. Fitness in the short term is not always fitness in the long term.
