Aldabra-rail Memes

This meme is about the mind-blowing phenomenon of iterative evolution, where a species goes extinct only to evolve again from the same ancestral lineage! The Aldabra rail bird actually did this - went extinct and then re-evolved from the same ancestor species. Darwin would be shooting laser beams of vindication from his eyes because this is basically his theory on steroids. Meanwhile, scientists are celebrating this evolutionary mic drop moment while creationists are having an existential crisis faster than you can say "fossil record." It's like nature looked at extinction and said "nah, I'll try that build again, it was pretty good."
