It feeds the myth, I guess--though I can show you more interesting things that have happened with the simple breeding of livestock over thousands of years, in geo isolation, (over geo time!)--without any evolution at all.

Unless you mean that evolution means selection for type? I've been given lots of vocabulary by evos in the attempt to bridge all these uncomfortable, contingent gaps between the species..Evos make so many assumptions--round faces do not new species create.

I think because I don't frequent these threads, Im unclear why the subject of different species has been raised. I didnt see anything in the article talking about. What am I missing?

Do tell. Biologists will be amazed by your being able to show them something that isn't true.

Look, don't blame *us* for your failure to understand why the terminology is necessarily complex. And don't tell those tall tales about "uncomfortable, contingent gaps". There are no "gaps" which pose serious problems for evolutionary biology.

Evos make so many assumptions--

That's a big assumption you're making about biologists, Mam.

round faces do not new species create.

Not by itself, no, but then no one said that it did. Confused much?

WHy does a peacock have big tail feathers? It uses them to attract a mate. Therefor peacocks with bigger brighter plumage are more likely to breed. Because of this bright tail plumage haws evolved over time.
