Quoting: El Tiburon Sometimes there are in between things, but sometimes there aren't. Here's the key, suppose all the giraffes up and died. Suppose somewhere in the genetic code of a horse, is one small modification that lets it have much longer neck. Now suppose we introduced horses to the giraffe environment, and let them go. Now we know the long neck thing is a potential for mutation, not a recessed gene, which means natural breeding of horses will never it bring it out. What happens? Well, horses would live pretty much as they are (assuming they survive and don't get it on with zebras) possibly for millions of years, before that one gamma ray hits that one sperm cell of that one horse, and that one sperm gets the other horse pregnant. Then the mutant is born, which can use its long neck to eat from trees where all the other horses couldn't. Because he does so well, he breeds a lot, and over only a few generations that gene is everywhere. Then these go on for millions of years, like the horses did. So what does it all look like on the fossil record? millions of years of one kind of thing, then millions of years of another, like it changed instantly. |

But this instance is the exception. The question was a great one. If you can explain what he asked, you will understand evolution better. The people who don't support evolution don't understand it. The way many people use the terms 'evolve', 'adapt', 'evolution' reveals that they don't get it yet. Another good example to research is pesticide resistance in insects. Evolution has never been about optimization. I think the issue is that how does species involve into different species. Macro vs micro evolution... Why is it that homo sapien do not seem to "fit" in this world? We have to wear clothes to stay warm. Why are we so much weaker compared to higher primates? Why are we hairless compared to higher primates? Nobody really knows... All we can do is speculate but there is no definitive proof of what really happened... |

The fact that genetic variation exists, is not evidence that genetic variation can build complex body plans. It is amazing that people will so flippantly suggest one proves the other. It's like saying "well, sand collects on beaches, so doesn't it follow that the sand can form itself into castles and mansions and literature on the beach?" Is this really how most Evo's think? And observed adaptations, such as Cecal Valves in Lizards, are typically produced by phenotypic plasticity, or an organism's ability to change based on direct fixed responses to environmental conditions. NOT random mutations. |
