The title of this article is misleading.

Some people try different strategies to make evolution appear real. Many people have seen beyond reasonable fact that evolution is not true. That is why it is an assumption, an intelligent guess. No evidence or experiment to support it.

I did not see any evolution in the story. What I see is adaptation.

Government should make malaria drugs free, it's just that Nigerians are too hungry else they won't be clogging the gutters, they would actually volunteer and contribute money to make a slab to cover their own gutters for their own benefit. undecided


I weak for Naija

Malaria drugs in Nigeria are already heavily cheap.

Try buying malaria drugs overseas. That's when you will know how far.

Funfact: Mosquitoes kill over 1 million people every year, making it the deadliest animal on the face of the planet.
Or maybe a“not so fun” fact.

So who understands mosquito language or spoke with a mosquito president to arrive at this conclusion
If not for those guys and their nonsense hyping, your sorry ass probably would have been dead long ago from Malaria fever. Do you know how much research went into making that malaria drug we enjoy today?

Your inability to understand evolution isn't a valid argument against it.

"At first we thought that mosquitoes who lived around people would simply like to bite people and that those who lived in the forests wouldn't like to bite humans," Rose said. "We were really surprised that that wasn't the case."


I can testify to this...

Mosquitoes feed on blood. So if the dead person is fresh and still has blood flowing in the vessels, yes. Although body heat helps mosquitoes locate humans so it might be a little harder to detect a colder dead body.
