Did you know the cockroach, by evolutionary standards, are nearly flawless creatures?

Believed to have originated in the Silurian period over 350 million years ago, they can be found on every part of the world, from the tropics to the Arctic. There exists 4000 known species, and in a year a single female can produce over half a million descendants. Radiation doesn’t kill them. Their only flaw is possessing a simple nervous system, their behaviour dictated solely by responses to environmental stimuli. Unlike us, they’re incapable of thoughts of self-illumination.
