I'm talking about a simple micro evolution within species. (P&N stay away!)
As you know in Galapagos (sp) island, certain birds have developed a specific curvy beak in order to drink honey from flowers with deep petals.
How is the information to 'morph' passed down to its offsprings then?
In more simple words, how does the bird start to develop a curved beak? They have no direct control of how their offsprings will be shaped physically... Does the body happen to know? If so, how?
As we know, just because we try something really hard in our lives, doesn't mean our children will be more 'adaptable' physically. (I know it's an extreme example as we are humans.)
