      Apparently. I guess that’s why he’s omnipotent but doesn’t do a thing to stop babies dying of it all the time.

    Evolution is a result of surviving environmental stressors and, well, surviving in general.

    Case in point: this person’s evolutionary lineage involved surviving overcrowded environments by causing everyone else to have aneurisms with just their words.

    Weird takes aside, I do wonder why only some big species like elephants developed a strong resistance to cancer, and not smaller species

      About blue whales I watched an educational video where it’s said that they indeed do have cancer, but that it barely matters to them due to their enourmous size. I wonder whether it’s something similar with elephants.

      It’s not about size. The little naked mole rat also doesn’t get cancer. I don’t think we know why yet.
