Instead, early elephants with slightly elongated trunks had a better chance of surviving and reproducing. These then produced elephants with longer trunks, which survived even better, producing elephants with even longer trunks. The genetic combination from generation to generation made for a greater chance of longer and longer trunks.
This is an ASSUMPTION (or opinion) by those with an "E" worldview.
