There is no intended implication for intelligence behind the extremophile behavior of tardigrades. Merely that it is curious how such a characteristic would have arisen given the absence of the environmental conditions (seemingly) needed to precipitate such traits.
- IgorPartola 12y agoFair enough. I still think that it's not that surprising. For example, nobody in the part of my ancestry that matters evolutionarily had to jump out of the way of a moving car, yet I am able to do this. Perhaps this analogy is too simplistic, but I think you see what I'm driving at.
