Newly evolved "superworms" that feast on toxic waste could help cleanse polluted industrial land, a new study says.

I thought 'newly evolved' to be an interesting choice of words.

Of course.

The planet is fine...the people are screwed.

This looks beneficial. Is this an example of spontaneous evolution?

My guess, E.T's altered these worms.

someones been busy in the lab maybe. Wales would seem a random destination for them to be tested so its just as likely to be a true story of evolution
