How about something that has evolved much further than one could've expected? Contact lens. I wear them and it's truly incredible that I can stick this weird gel half cylinder into my eyeball with ease and see perfectly. Dominant piece of evolution because I hate wearing anything on my face.
For once, you make an unusually outstanding point here. Back in the day, contact lenses were rigid plastic razor blades that could slice your cornea open and that you had to stick in a disinfecting apparatus that "cooked" the snot off them overnight. Woe betide the young stoner who fell asleep with them in.
I'm glad an America-hater approves, for once. My uncle had told me similar tails of contacts and actually doesn't wear them to this day because of his bad experience with them in the 80s.
I had hard contact lenses in 1971-1972, and it was such an agonizing experience that I went back to glasses then and forever. Admittedly part of the reason is that I hate putting things near my eyes.
Not really an evolution thing, but why do none of the sauces in the international isle at the supermarket taste anything like the restaurants? General Tsos , sweet and sour... all glorified soy sauces.
Why haven't airplanes evolved to the point where you don't have to hold hands with two strangers in standard class?
It really has gotten to where you either pay for first class or sit in someone else's lap at this point.
The airlines would never do this but it's cool. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/11/crystal-cabin-awards-future-of-redesigned-airplane-cabins.html
