Comment on Self study; Changing my own Biology Successfully
DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world 2 months agoThis idea is really fascinating. I understand your assumption that, given the extensive divergence in evolution, if humans were to grow wings, they might resemble those of bats or squirrels. However, that’s why I emphasized the importance of detailing what you envision. While bat-like wings may be the most logical conclusion, the concept of fast-tracked evolution allows for a range of possibilities—wings with feathers, tails, horns—essentially anything you can imagine. With enough dedication and patience, nearly anything is achievable.

I think one major difference is feathers - we have not had feathers show up in any mammalian mutations or evolutions that I know of. We went a different direction, with the fur and all. So even if fast tracking wings were possible I think that would involve some kind of fur covering and different adaptation for flight more akin to bats.
The other major hiccup is - fast tracked uncontrolled evolution, aka genetic mutation, without the controls/failsafes (such as non-viable mutated animals dying out and failing to breed) just equates to cancer…

You bring up valid concerns about infertility and uncontrolled mutations. While I’ve successfully applied fast-tracked evolutionary changes to others—like my partners and some friends—my current transformation is by far the most complex and scientifically controlled.
Because of this, infertility isn’t a concern for me in this process. And, while this might sound a bit off, in today’s economy, I and many others might actually view infertility as a benefit rather than a drawback. I understand it’s an unusual perspective, but it reflects the practical concerns many face today.
Unprofessional note I’d love to just be someone’s dog and be used anytime and that would take away risk from a lady.
