That whole “invasive species” thing has always frustrated me.
“Oh no - the invasive species is out-competing the native species!”
Yeah - that’s one of the ways by which evolution has always worked. Some species that fills some niche finds itself forced to compete with some “invasive species,” and it either adapts or dies out, and either way, nature ends up with a species that better fills that niche.
I can just see conservationists getting ahold of time machines and going back to the moment when the first sea creatures crawled up onto the land and going, “Oh no! An invasive species!” and kicking them back into the water.
(Honestly I felt the same even as I was writing it, but I went with it anyway.)
