"...are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"

Seriously, lesser-schooled folks don't realize the extent to which evolution took tiny variations over an extremely long time to achieve physical flight. The way it arose differently in pterosaurs, birds and bats is fascinating.

I think younger children are capable of understanding more about genetics than we often suppose. More of these concepts should be taught at younger ages.

I have a bachelors in bioengineering, I’m not a “lesser schooled individual”. Just because evolution took a long time doesn’t mean we have to, you can run millions of simulations virtually, something that nature has to do over millions of years. Are the simulations going to be perfect? Probably not but there’s a lot that can be gleaned through simulations combined with observations in the real world.
