The sad story of the male club-winged manakin, which has evolved a way of "singing with its wings" that sounds lovely to the females but makes it a clumsy flier and may lead to its extinction.
Perhaps no sadder than our own evolutionary path, where our tribal ape ancestry has shaped our history into one full of senseless war, oppression, and suffering - and which may yet see us wiping ourselves out by being inventive enough to create nuclear weapons, and yet still not smart enough to know better than to do so.
