Is that not the position of ToE? If not let me know. Note this doesn't mean that for instance humans evolved from primates. They could be on separate branches. But the root, as far as I understood, is the same for all lifeforms. |
as long as we're arguing semantics ... xD
evolution is a different idea from speciation is a different idea from common decent. related for sure, but sure but still different. the concept of all life coming from one common ancestor is a logical extention of the idea of common decent but has one very key distinction; common decent can be proven to be true, common decent from one common ancestor can not. there are no facts that i am aware of to prove that idea. it seems logical, it seems to make sense... but i cannot provide you proof and i probably never will be able to.
