This weird trick will help you summon an army of worms - Kenny Coogan

Discover the tradition of worm grunting, and find out why earthworms come to the surface when they sense vibrations in the earth.
--
In the middle of Florida’s Apalachicola National Forest, a bizarre, almost magical scene is unraveling. Sliding a metal strip over a wooden stake, a master summoner is sending deep croaking noises reverberating throughout the area. And, as if in a trance, hundreds of earthworms begin emerging from the soil. What’s going on? Kenny Coogan explores the tradition known as worm grunting.

[@TraeKryzer]

Pretty cool stuff! One thing that that bugs me a little is the connotation that every adaptation in evolution is purely overall beneficial. Or heck, are beneficial at all. The question "Why do worms still have this feature," or why does any other species still have something is, to put simply, because they aren't extinct yet. It's like asking someone why they left the lights on. "Well I didn't turn them off" is the only totally honest answer. You can say you forgot, but when the analogy goes back to evolution, you have to remember that there is no thought behind it. There is no mind saying "Shoot, I forgot to remove that feature" even though it doesn't work anymore. In fact this type of thing happens all the time. They're called vestigial structures. For example, whales still grow finger bones and hind legs, but are never used. The rare vs common predator is a good reason for explaining why they aren't extinct yet *because of this feature. But it does not explain why they have this feature in the first place or why they still have it. To put into other words, let's say for example that moles all disappeared one day and the amount that other animals exploited this feature went way up. Way up to the point where these worms are in danger of extinction. Now you can then ask "Why do worms still have this feature" and the only honest answer is that they or the feature hasn't gone away yet. And one or the other eventually will in this scenario. But nothing has really changed. The worms of course didn't, and the structure of evolution didn't change, so neither does the question. I'm very much not narking this one video. It is actually really interesting stuff! I just notice this kind of thinking about evolution is super common. To think that everything happens for a reason, often an environmental one. I mean, a lot of things do happen for environmental reasons, but it's not why things don't happen.
