Despite existing for the last 500 million years, squid are generally not talked about
雖然烏賊已經(jīng)存在5億年之久，但人們對(duì)它們談之甚少
and when they do make headlines it's usually shock and horror stories.
關(guān)于它們的頭條新聞，也通常是一些恐怖故事。
According to Mother Nature Network, squid are actually the super geniuses of the sea.

For starters, squid and other cephalopods can overwrite their genetic code as they see fit.
首先，烏賊和其他頭足類動(dòng)物可以根據(jù)自己的喜好改寫基因密碼。
This is possible because DNA isn't the boss of squid - instead, squid interfere with the code as it's being transmitted by RNA.
這是有可能的，因?yàn)镈NA不是烏賊的大老板—相反，在通過(guò)RNA傳播基因碼時(shí)，烏賊會(huì)進(jìn)行干預(yù)。
Squid have also proved to be highly adaptable during climate change.
已證實(shí)，烏賊在氣候變化中具有很強(qiáng)的適應(yīng)性。

當(dāng)其他物種在危機(jī)中瀕臨滅絕時(shí)，烏賊的數(shù)量卻在激增。
This could have something to do with their remarkable gene-editing skills.
這可能與它們卓越的基因編輯技能有關(guān)。
One biologist said, "They diverged in evolution so long ago from us.
一位生物學(xué)家表示：“它們?cè)谶M(jìn)化上與人類早有分歧。
They're basically the most advanced, behaviorally, animals of their kind of lineage."
它們?cè)谛袨楸憩F(xiàn)方面基本上是同類中最先進(jìn)的動(dòng)物。”
