Hello guys! Thanks for doing this AMA. My bio teacher alerted me to the existence of this, so I thought i could see if I could ask a few questions.

  1. What is, by far, the coolest thing you've ever seen?

  2. Why are, to my knowledge, nearly all the marsupials living in Australia? What happened with that?

  3. What would it take for humanity to evolve? What's the possibility of a beneficial mutation actually making its way around? Would that single mutation count enough to add another name to the hominid chart?

  4. Humans seem to be keeping everyone alive thanks to medicine, but that also means recessive conditions, such as color blindness and other genetic mutations. What will happen if we continue like that, since those that are meant to die off, don't?

  5. Assuming we could go back a couple millions years, where do the evolutionary lines of ducks and horses connect? What environment would have cause ducks to be the size of horses, and horses the size of ducks?

Thank you again!

Oh, I know color blindness isn't too important, but it was looking for an example. I'm sure other diseases, like Parkinson's, might be better.
