You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

DBP: What is 'evolutionary pressure'? There are no pressures that 'help' a creature - that's not how evolution works.

Pressures may have been a poor choice, but basically its what helps passes on its genes successfully to out perform rival genes for what ever reason.

I was thinking of things like a bird having a slightly longer beak that can get to more intractable worms and so be a more successful feeder, which could make all the difference come a famine.

That kind of thing.
