Adaptation

An adaptation is a characteristic of an organism that has been favored by natural selection and increases the fitness of its possessor. Of course, an adaptation must have been adaptive at some point in an organism's evolutionary history, but such an organism's environment and ecological niche can change over time, leading to adaptations becoming redundant or even a hindrance (maladaptations).



ECHO LOCATION...something used from submarines and dolphins, but there's a blind guy that could train his body to be able to use it...
TO SEE THROUGH SOUND...switch of perception...how's it possible? just training.


The human body adaptation:
1977, Marina Abramovic and Ulay, "Expansion in space", 32mins performance
...two bodies pushing two movable columns as heavy as the double bodies weight...

After 90 minutes’ searching the police discovered Jean-Luc Josuat-Vergès, 48, an instructor at a centre for the handicapped buried under a pile of plastic sheeting and leaves 200 metres deeper into the hillside
M Josuat-Vergès said that he entered the caves on December 18 while in the middle of a bout of depression. After his torch batteries ran out, he stumbled around for several days, losing his shoes, he said. He survived by drinking water from the cave walls and sucking on wood and lumps of clay and chalk to stave off hunger pangs. The police said that they found M Josuat-Vergès ragged, dirty, bearded and skinny, but mentally lucid, although he had lost track of time. After a few hours in the Tarbes hospital he was allowed to go home.
