I like sauropods (long-necked dinosaurs) in general, as these Mesozoic puzzles 🧩 pushed evolutionary innovation to the extreme, & even the simplest aspects of their biology are confounding, oft-debated subjects. A thread 🧵 highlighting few of those.

De hecho, la inmunidad adaptativa surgió hace aprox 400 millones de años con los placodermos²
En fin…definamos de manera general 2 conceptos: evolución y genes
La evolución biológica se refiere al cambio constante q presentan las distintas especies a lo largo del tiempo
