Considering that we are limited to are ability to observe. Has anyone ever considered ...other than microbal or fungal....that new animal or plant species may be emerging as we speak. The thoery of evolution is wonderful and all but can we say this has not or does not happen? We may never stop discovering new species.
In this line of thinking has anyone ever considered that there may be an average general rate of evolution based on the level of complexity of the specie evolving. Environmental factors are an obvious push but does a less complex organism have a better chance of adapting than a more complex one? Is biological complexity itself an advantage or disadvantage? Of course the question of how complex something is, must be strickly biological. No tooting our own horn...we are too full of ourselves. lol
