I remember seeing this posted a few days ago. When I hover over '8 hours ago', it shows '2024-07-22T15:59:19'. That's not 8 hours ago. Why is a post from 4 days ago showing as a recent post? Is it a title change issue?

Regardless. What's the point of the article. We have known for decades that evolution 'can' happen much quicker than darwin thought. From large animals to bacteria. Not only that we know that 'lamarckian' epigentics exists.

If you don't know about it, it can cause some head-scratching, as you wonder whether the prior post was just in your imagination:)
