Science: Genetics: Genome Reveals Why Giraffes Have Long Necks [A Deceptive Article by the Journal “Nature”]

“Some of the specific genes identified are involved in regulating both skeletal and cardiovascular development. This COULD mean that mutations in a small number of genes are driving the giraffe’s adaptations, such as a long neck and a turbocharged cardiovascular system, in parallel, says Cavener.This study identifies genes associated with the giraffe’s adaptations, BUT DOES…
