Hi Mazzy,
It appears that you popped in to yet another thread to do a drive-by. I checked out the first thing you said to see if you're actually introducing valid points:
Can you point out where in the article it says that whales and humans have the same neural spindles? Also, here's a link to the original technical article in the
The Anatomical Record, and you won't find this claim there, either:
Not only does the article you cited not say what you claim it says, the article itself seems suspect. For instance, the quote in the first paragraph ("certain cetaceans and hominids may have evolved side by side") appears nowhere in the article in The Anatomical Record, and it is not something the article ever says.
But I think you were probably not trying to make a precise statement when you said that humans and whales have the same neural spindles. I think you were just trying to cite more evidence of a homology (in this case, structural and locational similarities of spindle cells in the brains of humans and whales) that you feel is insufficiently supported by the evidence as caused by evolution.
But what's important from a moderator standpoint is whether you're going to stick around and argue the points you've introduced into the discussion. If you are then carry on, by all means. But if you don't post again to this thread then the next drive-by I see will draw a suspension.
Upon reflection this is asking a bit much in the Free For All forum, please ignore the possibility of any moderator action for non-participation in this thread.
