Abstract
- The article explores the implication of the perseverance of salamanders for the theory of evolution. Salamanders are known for their sluggish existence due to the fact that their genomes are 300 times larger than a lizard, bird or mammal and for their survival by lying around instead of following the survival of the fittest theory of evolution. Also cited is the tendency of giant genomes to distort bodies. It mentions the gradual evolution of the bloated genome of the salamander.
