This picture shows two fruit flies side by side; the fly on the left is the normal two-winged fruit fly, while the fly on the right is a one of a kind four-winged fly: The story behind the picture is that the four-winged fly proves evolution by showing that a fly evolved a second set of wings for itself.

But what the textbook doesn’t say is how this process was done. These fruit flies were tested with radiation to see how the next generation would look (fruit flies are born and have offspring within a matter of days, making them a favorite to experiment on). What happened when the...
