Evolution strikes another great nail into the coffin of common sense. It is worth pausing briefly to let this stunning conclusion sink in. We cannot see, touch, or smell evolution. It evades our perception—it takes place on spatiotemporal scales far in excess of one, or even a million, human lifetimes, and it involves processes such as DNA replication that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Of course we might see small changes in the ears of any kittens our cat bore. But would the slightly smaller ears count as a significant variation? “Significant” in this case means that the trait is passed on—so in effect, significance is always in the future, always to come.
