Re: Very Late Reply, and simply wrong
Hi Razd,
RAZD writes:
(1) The process of evolution involves changes in the composition of hereditary traits, and changes to the frequency of their distributions within breeding populations from generation to generation, in response to ecological challenges and opportunities for growth, development, survival and reproductive success in changing or different habitats.
This is sometimes called microevolution, however this is the process through which all species evolve and all evolution occurs at the breeding population level.
Just one of my stupid questions.
If what you just quoted and said is true shouldn't there be a complete trail of the different changes visible today in the fossil record?
Which is what Darwin said would exist.
If what you say is correct why does the fossil record show times of new life forms without a connection to previous life forms, that has been called punctuated equilibrium?
God Bless
