Editor's Notes
Living Dinosaur is the fastest-evolving animal…Tuatara – looks hasn’t changed much .. But DNA says differently.. They can adapt faster than bears, horses, and many other warm- blooded vertebrates 200 million years old… outside the same… inside is changing its DNA to adapt… and live through global warming, etc. Libraries look the same but they have evolved… !
