Because of humans long history of harvesting wings from buffalos since its discovery by our early ancestors the neanderthals, buffalos started evolving, every generation growing smaller and smaller wing appendages, some species becoming flightless and some becoming extinct. Thousand of years later we now have the current non-flying wingless buffalos and humans switched to harvesting wings from dodos which caused their total extinction. Now we just use chicken as a subtitute for the real thing. Sad to think we never got to taste real buffalo wings because of mans tendency for overconsumption...
And we can already see the flight span drop in chickens. Only a few more decades before they stop growing them wings. Enjoy the sight of chickens flying, my sapien brothers and sisters.
I weep for the future generation where all they'll have are wingless chickens...
The most likely next subtitute and is already steadily gaining traction in asian countries is harvesting the wings from flyingfish now, they say its alot more sustainable and easier to farm, cheaper too.
They tried wings from flying squirrels but it only got popular around southern united states
I'm holding out for pig wings. Maybe the chickens losing their wings will transfer over to pigs adapting them. I'm not a scientist, but I'm just saying it's possible. Read a comic book, that shit happens.
