• Resumen

  • Aeons ago there was an animal that walked along a dusty path to a watering hole every morning. Halfway, she would spot a patch of trees with the tastiest, most succulent leaves on the savannah. Stretch as she might, she couldn't quite reach them. Then one day the stretching paid off, and she suddenly had a mouthful of juicy fronds. Years passed, and the giraffe had babies. Over the generations they became spindlier and spindlier, reaching ever higher into the treetops. Here, Arney talks about how one's lifestyle can change their genes.
