We have no idea how evolution works. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.
"You can't fuck if you're dead" what's to understand
That's the mechanism, but how environments grow wings or blowholes or 8 vs 6 legs is entirely magic still.
Environmental pressures and conditions make specific traits more advantageous for species inhabiting a particular environmental niche. That's why everything turns into crabs
"Everything Turns Into Crabs" would be an amazing title for a book about evolution. Someone tell Richard Dawkins.
Random chance produces advantageous trait. Advantageous trait gets propagated because it's a competitive benefit for the individuals carrying it.
