---- Morphological Variability [TESTED]

A population of coral with high variability in heat tolerance has a future. A population where every polyp is a genetic identical twin has a death sentence. Conservation biologists are now arguing that we should protect not just "the species," but the range of forms within that species. We must save the small-bodied salmon as ardently as the large-bodied one, because we do not know which body plan will match the river of tomorrow. To look for the "perfect" specimen is to misunderstand life. Morphological variability is not an error in the blueprint; it is the blueprint. It is the engine of adaptation, the wellspring of speciation, and the quiet rebellion of biology against the tyranny of the average.

This is not merely "mutation" or "defect." This is the raw material of evolution. ---- Morphological Variability
