superchunk said: omg. Adaptation is the beginning process of evolution. First you adapt to surrounds by having a metaphysical change. That change is preferred by the species and over time replaces other variants which ultimately finalizes an evolutionary step. Jesus, do you absolutely require that the southern skinks die off 100% to see it as evolution in motion? If so that's crazy. |
no,
I m with Slimebeast and the others
Adaptation DOES NOT EXIST or HAS NEVER BEEN PROVEN.
You dont adapt to your environnement. You are selected by it, this is different.
Whatever, here, we have NO proof that this is evolution.
- are these lizard able to do this usually ? or not ? Is it a new trait ? or something that was already existing ?
I dont know if this question is answered but this is REALLY critical. Because, if it is something this specy is able to do classically, then, this is not evolution.
- are we able to determine a genetic change ? The genome has to be sequenced and the 2 groups have to be genetically different at least for some groups of genes implicated in "the birth style". It has to be proven too by creating mixed individu and isolated the critical genetic sequence implicated in the style birth process.
REALLY, Slimebeast is right to play with the words : THIS is not evolution until it is proven to be evolution
Evolution is not about Adaptation, Evolution is about Selection of different variations.
We have no proof of selection and we are even lacking proof of variations (true specific and isolated trait or genetic difference).
It is funny to see, it is funny to read, but this is not definitive.
Time to Work !
