Dear Edge:
A transitionform is a form of transition that forms a transition between forms. Best wishes,Peter

quote: Then what is wrong with definition: a transitional is a form that possesses characters, or character states that are part way between two separate taxa.? (I added a bit), Do you agree the ToE predicts transitional forms as described? Please be specific in your objection. Mark ------------------Occam's razor is not for shaving with.

Yeah, I went over to the Autralian Museum in Sydney to have a look at the chinese dinosaurs exhibition (the real thing, not the replica's, including the alleged birdlike transition forms). It was a lot of fun. More about this later.
best wishes,peter

What about the four-winged Microraptor gui? Maybe you can use it as an example of a 'wider' genome in the past?
