    people say "that is stupid" and yet furnish no longer something to the problem. Why even reply then? properly, being squashed does no longer signify a intense percentage of the insect mortality price. extra significant issues are predators which includes spiders and frogs. Their evolution ought to take them into consideration far earlier our shoes. besides, evolution isn't the secure progression of an organism to perfection. it really is replace and version. many cases, this version is a detriment, laying off off a functioning trait that has fallen out of use. A regression, in case you'll. No defenses you assert? i ought to call awesome reflexes and quick action an effecting counter-degree to a pursuing foot. one extra situation; how can one situation be "extra actual" than yet another? life is absolute. One can not exist more suitable than yet another.

    We are not paper's natural prey. Paper is an invasive species and we have not yet developed our defenses against it. After several million years of working desk jobs in cubicle farms, we will likely evolve the ability to defend ourselves against paper cuts.

    Oh dear, you must be terribly deformed if you were not born with three inch thick skin on your hands, like everyone else has to protect them against paper cuts and being hit with feather dusters.

    The higher orders of humans don't get paper cuts. I'm sorry, did you get a paper cut? :-D

    because, first of all, paper isn't a naturally occouring factor, it's a human invention. Secondly, Humans can't evolve any further because we change our natural environment and circumstances to suit ourselves through technology.

    Good try.
