But they are still birds. Was a frog really a fish, and did that "fish" matured into something else rather than a frog? And many insect are born as larve. And there are similarities in regards to DNA. That's doesn't mean I can sprout wings. |
Well there's a chance your kids can be born with a tail, fused mermaid legs or webbed fingers and/or toes. There's no more advantage to that nowadays so those mutations (or rather switches) are going nowhere. Currently humans are mostly breeding for low IQ :p
Over time your ancestors can sprout wings. The human species will need to shrink a lot first, a long period of nuclear winter or global warming exciction event should suffice to shrink species. Webbed arms can become advantageous to increase jump distance by gliding (like certain squirrels in the Amazon) Flight already evolved 4 seperate time before https://www.scienceworld.ca/blog/evolution-flight so get rid of civilization (works against evolution), make it very hard to survive, wait serveral hundred million years and increase the oxygen content a bit to favor high energetic actions.
