No, reverse evolution and devolution are totally different. Look, if something is, say, human but it has its genes mucked about with it can evolve along that path. It can then be successful in a particular enviroment. However, if that creature is not successful in a different one, it can re-evolve into almost what it was to start with using genetic memory. However it does retain some of its creature self. In the human race nowadays, it retained good night vision, capablity to breathe thinner air, and incredible skeleton strength.

*looks up from raking*

I'm not sure ma'am.. apparently this place is dangerous... and dirty. We need the Colonel as a guide.. or we could just do what we always do... wander in with only my warning and head straight from there...

Um... well the colonel has disappeared for a while, I think, so maybe we could just go around the immediate area outside the bug...
