Basically there is no adaption that works against bad circumstances that adapt to you - besides intelligence. We might wipe out all bigger life-forms where we go- but in our shadow, intelligent life might grow. Arras able to do take out orders from unoccupied flats. Foxes able to open trash cans. Wild boars, planting ambrosia to keep allergic humans at bay. Algae and Fungi able to eat electricity and plastic. Nature has a nice come back swing. Not very Disney, but nothing is.

I remain indebted to my parents for their excellent collection of books, to which I had access at a young age.
