Evolution happening in nature ... so cool 


Hi Science lovers,

My knowledge on evolution dates from school so Darwin and the Origin of Species but I kept fascinated by those theories.

This week, an article in Science featured an interesting observation in lizard...well... central bearded dragons to be more precise. In those lizards, sex is determined genetically and environmentally. At high temperature, male embryos turn into females. They will still have male genetical information but they become superfemales, producing more eggs than regular females!
With the current climate change, we could literally observe the apparition of a new "third sex".
We always learn :-) Don't you think ?
