+244 You would think that after thousands of years bugs would have evolved to avoid humans. Every time they come near us they get crushed or someone starts screaming and running around like an idiot, amirite?

While it's still just a random percentage of them that get near humans, it's impossible for it to make any change in their species. If it were some gene that made them attracted to humans other than some other animal, then sure. But right now no.

Species evolve over thousands of years to behave in certain ways. I've heard of more advanced species that have developed behavioral patterns and was wondering why insects and bugs hadn't done the same. The post does appear fairly stupid, but I did actually think about it. I also realise this is a terrible explanation, but I'm tired and my I'm using a mac right now no

Evolution can take millions of years, even billions in order for a significant change to develop, so maybe bugs are working on it right now but all the changes have been so benign we can't see them yet? I guess the post could have some semblance of truth, since it's sort of like a less-natural version of natural selection. The only issue is that flying near people isn't a genetic trait, so to speak, it's an action, even though you'd think bugs would eventually realize it was dangerous and stop doing it, which wouldn't have anything to do with evolution at all, it could happen overnight since it's really a behavioral change.

I was gonna put in some stuff I learnt in biology, but I really couldn't be fucked and I posted this so long ago that I don't even care.
