“Researchers have hypothesized that sauropods grew big to avoid getting eaten.”
Lamarckism makes its comeback! I’m going to hypothesize that sauropods grew big because they were genetically programmed to do so in their DNA, but I’m an amateur.
The other alternative is that they wished they were bigger because they were getting eaten too much, and so they willed themselves larger after they were eaten? Who are these researchers?
Thank you.
My biology-for-majors professor often used language such as, “This species WANTED to walk on land...”

Everybody knows that they grew so big because no one remembered to tell them not to.
When there’s absence of evidence, keep on walking like you didn’t do anything.
