Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL "pruney fingers" are not caused by your skin swelling from absorbing water. They're actually caused by your nervous system constricting the blood vessels in the skin, causing them to shrink and the skin to fold over them. by OverdriverJC

But...the human body experiences "typical" observable reactions to extreme cold (and a complete lack of oxygen), but that doesn't mean we were once spacefarers. The body reacts to being violently struck, but that doesn't mean we were once boxers or hockey players...?

Moose and Flamingos are aquatic animals. They don't swim around like a dolphin. It's not a popular theory because it attracts lunitics. I'm indifferent on the subject, but if cast the loonies there are hundred of evolutionary quirks that are hard to explain. Seriously, when I actually had exposure to biological journals, every year quirks pop up.Seriously, who gives damn?
