DAVID: We may have answered the question of how the 'Cuttles' got to cuddle, but still haven't answered the question, of how they spread the message of shark avoidance technique.-You can ask the same question about every single innovation, lifestyle and natural wonder throughout the history of evolution. Once they've been invented, how do they all “catch on”? Pretty soon, we shall have your God rushing round talking to each cuttlefish - or alternatively, preprogramming the first cells to ensure that a few thousand million years later, some cuttlefish will simultaneously come up with the shark avoidance technique, but some won't. Or it may just be that all organisms have ways of passing information to one another.
