Proving Evolution in the Age of Genetics

How accurate is it to describe the different varieties of dogs as a ring species? Is it at least a similar concept?A personal anecdote, I had Miniature Schnauzer (small dog) that got impregnated by a Newfoundland (very big dog). My dog had to have an abortion or the pup would have killed it.

The Hovind-ites aren't going to agree. "a dog is still a dog"I guess the exception would be the small male impregnating the large female. I can't really picture the mechanics of it happening (!), but the offspring and parents would most likely surive. I imagine it wouldn't happen in the natural though, so the exception fails.This isn't about Genetics, so I suppose it's off topic. But I don't think Creo's realize it stuff like this that can result in speciation.

except I know dogs that recognize my leg as a mate. haha.Behavioral reproductive isolation. Cool. Thanks.

and Chimps have 48.It seems possible to me, that the human/chimp common ancestor had 48 chromosones (24 sex chromosomes) and the human lineage had a mutation event where 2 chromosones fused into 1.Here's some good stuff on humans and chimps and genetics.Page not found | Nature

Thanks for your reply.What do you mean by "not a closed loop?"
