I thought 'newly evolved' to be an interesting choice of words.

Of course.

The planet is fine...the people are screwed.

Greetings :welcomeani: This looks beneficial. Is this an example of spontaneous evolution?

My guess, E.T's altered these worms.

someones been busy in the lab maybe. Wales would seem a random destination for them to be tested so its just as likely to be a true story of evolution
