Oh, What a Web They Weave!


Kallam Turner-Dalgliesh, Works at Leicester College

QUESTION: Why aren't humans ever born with ability to crochet sweaters but spiders are always born with the ability to spin webs?

Kallam: The two things are totally different. Its like asking “why aren't humans born with the ability to crochet sweaters but birds can sing?”

Me: No. Both are weaving behaviors.

Kallam: One is to create a home/shelter one is to make a jumper. Sorry Stephane but the behaviours are too different to compare.

Me: What were the chances that a biological web-making apparatus in an organism appeared AND that same organism wouldn’t know how to make a food-catcher out of it? Knowing its brain size, maybe it was all the angels dancing on it that gave it the weaving/spinning know-how…
