Now you've done it. Elsie will be all over this thread demanding to be told about sex again.

I believe you were wondering about the subject of this article.

Logsdon says that he and his team plan to continue their research by looking for meiosis genes in other eukaryotes thought to be asexual.

Is this all they have to do? LOL Like who really cares about the sexual activities of Giardia? :)

Proof, by the way that every transitional found increases the number of missing transitionals.

You have to wonder how Geraldo even finds time for sexual activities, the way he is always enroute from here to yonder and back.

Should I ping the list for this? We've got a lot going on already.

You could put it on the back burner for a while. I think it is important, however.

Maybe. It's a bit technical, which will keep your average creationist Luddite from reading it. I have a feeling this one will sink quietly.

Maybe the thread will sink, but how many times does some yahoo demand to know how sex evolved.

The interesting thing is this article talks about genes that are sitting on the bench, so to speak.

"Proof, by the way that every transitional found increases the number of missing transitionals."

Well, at least your guys are finally asking the right questions...

"A lot had to happen when eukaryotes evolved. Why aren't there any intermediate stages of this process alive today? Did all the intermediate forms go extinct, and why?" Roger asks."

"While it hasn't yet been caught in the act, a single-celled parasite has been ready for sex for billions of years."

Oh my. Recessive genes in eukaryotes and prokaryotes...who woulda thunk it?!

Makes sense. If you catch Giardia, you're definitely screwed.

Recessive? Sounds more like a total time-out than it does recess.

Maybe if more Giardia got invites to the prom, the sex-drive would kick in.

A couple billion years seems like an awfully long preadolescence.
