Nematodes.

This is coolbert:

“'These worms live everywhere, and they live quickly, so they go through dozens of generations of evolution while a typical vertebrate is still putting on its shoes,'” - Rockman.

Super-worms as resistant to nuclear radiation.

The super-soldier via nematode?

"Scientists discover Chernobyl ‘super worms’"

"Nematodes found in the highly radioactive zone showed no signs of DNA damage"

https://www.rt.com/news | 8 Mar, 2024.

"A team of American researchers has found that the DNA of a common worm species appears to be immune to damage from chronic radiation in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The area has been off-limits to humans since the 1986 nuclear power plant meltdown."

See previous blog entry the Chinese experimentation the water bear microscopic life form also highly resistant to nuclear radiation. 

With the nematodes scientists can observe in real-time the Darwinian Selection process at work? Nematodes having evolved into a species that can live and thrive in a highly contaminated nuclear environment.

Genetic splicing of worm and water bear DNA into humans can result in a super-soldier not susceptible to high-levels of atomic radiation as would be the result of a nuclear war?

Stuff of scientific-fiction perhaps with the advent of modern technology a possible?
