At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is quite the popcultural phenomenon. I've watched the BBC miniseries and the movie, also I've read all five volumes of the the Hitchhiker Trilogy. Yes, you've read that correctly. Douglas Adams did things differently

While still looking elegant, of course. Some people are just born with it.

Yes, I remembered there was this one trilogy with 5 books. I just couldn't remember which series it was.
