Rapid Evolution of Species Due to Human Impact
Human activities have caused a 73% decline in wildlife in 50 years, forcing species to rapidly adapt; examples include birds changing their wingspan for thermoregulation and mollusks changing their shell color to deal with heat, while mahogany trees have become smaller to avoid logging.
