Evolution
Can you discard a trait from your species without replacing it, and where does it go?
The designer says discarding without a replacement is legal, and the publisher and designer confirm the discard rule.

Yes. In the Play Cards phase you may discard any traits from your species at no cost and need not replace them, even though the printed rulebook only mentions replacing a trait when a species already has 3. A removed trait goes to the discard pile, not back to your hand. The digital version requires a one-for-one swap, which is a limitation of the app.
