Wanna know what would be wild?? So ya know how there’s that tick that changes human biology to be allergic to red meat? What if, in the future, some type of insect evolved in a similar way (in that it can change human biology when it bites them) and causes humans to become polyphenic (ability to change between morphs depending on environmental factors).
I’ve been doing some research (for reasons) on polyphenism and just saying, that’d be fucking awesome. Depending on the type, it can change the sex of the species depending on various factors like temperature (crocodiles) or gender ratio (blue wrasse fish), change the caste system of the species (for instance, ants have queens, workers, drones, and soldiers) (also, would make for a fascinating and scientifically plausible explanation for a/o/b genetics), change the pigmentation of the species, etc.
So anyway, yea. Just thought this was all cool info that could be utilized for writing and such 🙃
