Comet that wiped out dinosaurs may be apple's creator
It is believed that the existence of apple is the direct result from the extinction of dinasours 65 million years ago due to the comet impact. This bizarre theory started from the analysis of apple genome in which apple undergone massive and rapid changes. The extra genes enabled apple to flourish better under unfavourable conditions and yield better. This new discovery suits the theory why apple is so unique compared to close relatives like strawberry or raspberry plants. The timeframe for this extraordinary change coincided with the newborn of new species like poplar trees as well as the extinction of some species like dinosaurs. It shows major environmental impact on certain species on the Earth to grow for survival.

Another news to show that the massive environmental change can lead to the evolve of new species as well as the extinction of certain species like dinosaurs. All these bizarre shows that is it we no need to be sad for the extinction of certain species? As we sure that there will be the newborn of another new species. Is there a possibility that the species that have extinct may reborn in the future? It cannot be an assurance. However, I agree with the fact that God will gift us with new revolution when He take off some of our precious resources. However, I personally think that this should not be the excuse for human to continue their deterioration on the environment. Man made extinction is always unacceptable.
