Don't some beetles also have complex attack capabilities, sometimes even biochemical attacks, and don't they also sometimes attack humans?
I never read the opinion that beetles were simple in the "MVP" sense of the word. I think they can be quite complex life forms.
- bee_rider 3y agoCompared to the mammal template, beetles don’t have to do satisfy as many requirements (no temperature regulation, simple brains, etc). So they can have complicated biochemical attacks because they have a solid foundation, easy to build on. It is definitely possible I haven’t thought this out very well.
- the_af 3y agoWell, yes, but this describes plenty of other organisms that are neither mammals nor beetles.
