bless you artemis <3

as an aspiring biologist, im tempted to pose my own theories myself tbh. im thinking that humans and fairies are the same species (but subspecies of each other)? because theyre generally assumed to be able to interbreed to form fertile offspring hmm.

thus i would assume that the development of wings in air fairies would be a form of analogous structures.

i think the reason why fairies would be so hard to classify is because they are so diverse??? like it would be near impossible to use traditional classification techniques, hence thats why scientists would sequence their genomes, to get a proper and objective method of working out evolutionary patterns and missing links.

evolutionary biology is just such a changing field that is always reclassifying things. thats lowkey why i love it tbh. so much to explore, so much to learn abt the living world!
