"The Xolotl salamander found in Mexico is an example. Scientists, moved by the plight of this beautiful creature, gave him an injection of hormones, whereupon he shed his gills and left the water after ages of neoteny. It is perhaps too much to hope ihat one simple injection could jar the human species out of its neoteny. But by whatever means the change takes place, it will be irreversible. The Xolotl, once he sheds his gills, can never reclaim them. Evolution would seem to be a one-way street"
huh weird. I always wondered why I picked "axolotl"...
Friggin’ uploader flipped the image on its side. Sorry bout that, guys.
This is from an essay titled “Women: A Biological Mistake?”
Which also talks about erasing gender and the earth being flat. Weird huh? It’s probably only like 1500 words, the whole piece.
