Mutations and Adaptations

Women with blonde hair, according to a study I recently read about, are the result of a genetic mutation. The theory says near the end of the last ice age their light-colored hair successfully attracted the attention of the scarce supply of male mates who were dying at a rapid rate in woolly mammoth hunting accidents, and the like. When the supply of men ran low, the competition heated up and the blonde was created.

It got me to thinking about the random nature of genetic mutations and evolutionary adaptations. Just as easily as the blonde was created, why not (and you may already see where I'm going here...) women with other, "better" mutations?



Pretty actress Amanda Peet as a highly adapted predator: feline eyes to see better at night; bat-like ears for improved hearing; and not only 2, but 4 fangs for improved hunting.





Supermodel Christy Turlington demonstrates an improved nutritional delivery system, sure to be an evolutionary advantage.



Elle MacPherson as a supermodel raptor. Flight and grasping claws are obviously a great combination for hunting prey. Her horns (though possibly otherwise useful) give her a great demonic quality, too.



A blonde with fangs must have the most fun.
