Actually - the real answer to his delimma is quite simple... but I won’t post it because there are certain Freepers who would call me a Christian/Religious idiot for believing the Bible...

Feel free to post. But as I have identified this as a science thread in the title, it would be more appropriate if you posted scientific backing for any claims you make.

And, where's the science? You made a lot of promises, but the "solution" is nowhere in sight ~ at least not on the lead article which appears to be an advertisement for a book that might give away the secret.

If there are some more comprehensive URLs we might read, please post them.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050326004537.htm is much more interesting. There the writer indicates that Darwin really blew it when it came to pigs because modern evidence (DNA sampling) proves that it was the transmission of the technology of domestication, not the movement of pigs, that led to European, et al, domesticated porkers of all sorts.

Now why would Darwin have screwed up so badly on that one? Well, for one thing I doubt a gentleman of his breeding would have imagined that very many people would be interested in going to the trouble of catching gamey wild pigs when they could just buy one off a passing Arabian pig merchant.

Many of the detail explanations for "evolution" have that problem ~ the genius behind them has prejudices that he or she cleverly works into the structure to hide what really happened.

I guaran~tee them ol'countryboys way back when were HAPPY to catch wild pigs, and happy to turn the boars into fat roastin' hogs, and were even happier to hold back the females that had 12 or 16 piglets and let the little two-bangers show up over in the tandoor for Saturday afternoon's roast.

You can't grow up in corn and hog country without knowing what is meant by "the technology" ~ it's a fence with a top ~ and a knife sharp enough for the nut cuttin'. Ain't no more complex than seeing it happen!

Darwin simply didn't spend enough time on the growing side of pig culture to bother with thinking about it all that much ~ the boy loved birds though.

Howz about - “for as long this universe of ours has been around one critter has never turned itself into some other critter”. In other news, pumpkins don’t really change into chariots, either.
