I don't really have anything to say, it was an interesting article.
I wonder if there could be a similiar effect in humans, well if that turns out to be the case most of HollyWood is safe.
Comments, Opinions?
From orginal new article posted by 'i_k'
The birds are not magically transforming their spots. Instead, evolution is at work, allowing the birds to show off their health. The finding supports
the theory that expression of secondary sexual traits, such as brighter plumage, bigger horns or a larger spot, signals traits that are beneficial for
survival.
Not sure if there's a similiar trait (eg the dot) in humans... aside from the hypothesis that good looking people are getting it more than the er,
um... the attractively disabled (new term copyright 2006 - Rren.)
Human interactions, i think, are much more complicated although being attractive/fit is a sign of fertility that your 'mates' notice and respond
too, i guess that's similar/analogous.
The article is very interesting none-the-less. Of course an 'I don't have HIV (or anything else)' spot would certainly be a useful adaptation for
humans.
Good find
