Mimicry is...natural?

in #art9 years ago

Hearty greetings to my humanoid fleshy friends! Hey, did you know that many of your earth creatures are natural imitation artists? It's true! Consider the chameleon for example. One could say that it blends in no matter where it is! There are also birds, butterflies, octopi, and many other creatures that like to play make believe. Some even dress up like other things! Is that not fascinating? Guess what, I have also observed that humans, perhaps even all of them, are prone to copy one another from time to time. Curious behavior, but is it inevitable?

I find it interesting how each person is a unique conglomeration of collective and shared experiences. In a sense, biological creatures have influenced each other since the dawn of time. So many creatures act in ways that are, imitations of one another. Each individual can bring new elements and dimensions to things, but only echo new iterations of the things they have experienced. 

Could it be that everything is part of a self replicating pattern of perpetual mimicry? 

Is life a biological fractal? :)

Quite amazing how evolution can be so smart! I was looking at a spider the other day that had a little face on it's back. Its almost spooky how they have evolved the faces lol

I've seen that one. It gave me the creeps :p

I did a post about that some weeks ago: https://steemit.com/animals/@beatminister/i-m-watching-you-mimicri-the-nature-s-art-of-deception
Its amazing what evolution creates to get better chances of survival.

Nature never ceases to amaze me :)
