Humans have repeatedly altered the history of life on Earth , sometimes intentionally, other times inadvertently.

The case of each species reveals much about humanity's impact on the "natural" world.

Here are some of the most compelling and intriguing examples of when humans changed the evolution of animals.

Mozambique 's elephants are now being born without tusks.

Poachers killed tusked elephants for food and to sell their ivory to finance war efforts, leaving behind tuskless individuals that then passed their genes to future generations.

Tusks serve important functions for elephants, helping them strip bark for food, dig for water.
