Have you ever seen a pink grasshopper? Though the meadow grasshopper (Chorthippus parallelus) is typically distinguished by its green and brown coloration, a genetic mutation called erythrism leaves some individuals looking pretty in pink! Erythrism is the overproduction of red pigment. While these rare insects are beautiful to look at, pink grasshoppers are hindered by their vivid coloring because it makes hiding from predators much more difficult.

Its still strange how, our nomade behavior stay with us even if its been 10 000 years ( sort of) of selected sedentarisation. In fact, we are really just alike those past homo sapiens but not exacly the same. Some behavior has change, other has stay. But fundamentally, we are Eukaryota, animalia, mammalia, primates, hominidae, homo sapiens.
And to be short we are, a fragile nacked primate with more neurogenis gene
