Humans will need to use synthetic biology to help species adapt faster than environmental change

Humans will need to use synthetic biology to help species adapt faster than environmental change | helping species adapt at the same curve of which we are changing environments is also something that's going to be needed in the future because evolution is not uh fast unless it's directed.

helping species adapt at the same curve of which we are changing environments is also something that's going to be needed in the future because evolution is not uh fast unless it's directed.
