Aposematism Memes

Finally, evolutionary biology explains why advanced math textbooks come in those terrifying yellow covers! Nature's warning system at work. The bright yellow screams "DANGER: contains theorems that will poison your weekend and potentially your will to live." Natural selection has clearly favored students who run away from these toxic knowledge containers. Those who didn't develop this instinct were found dead, surrounded by coffee cups and tear-stained problem sets.

Evolution's brilliant warning system has given us poisonous creatures with bright yellow-black patterns to scream "DON'T TOUCH ME" - and then there's graduate-level algebraic geometry, nature's way of saying "approach with extreme caution, mathematical predators ahead." The textbook's threatening yellow cover is no coincidence! Natural selection has clearly determined that only the most resilient math students will survive this particular academic toxin.

Someone tried to use evolutionary biology to justify their prejudice and got absolutely schooled. Aposematism is indeed a real biological phenomenon where creatures like poison dart frogs and coral snakes display bright warning colors to tell predators "eat me and regret it." The brilliant response points out that if you're feeling "warned off" by someone's hair color, congratulations—you've self-identified as the predator in this scenario, not a potential mate. The system works! Nothing like watching pseudoscience get demolished by actual science.
