?It?s such a wonderful example of how exquisite nature is as a designer and builder of complex systems. We can draw it on paper and think about engineering it, but we?re in the stone age compared to nature.?

Indeed. In fact, issues like this are my main objection to the deforestation of the rainforest. The fauna and flora being permanently destroyed could (and a few were proven to before being eliminated) contain scientific and medical knowledge that could greatly help us. However, the long term benefits, and profits, of such endeavors seem to be lost on those perpetrating the deforestation.

Wow. Things like this make me (almost) see why people like one of my players (and one of my best friends) can study nature for fun.
