oh, look who is back!

You see sexual (Mendelian) genetics has nothing to do with evolution except to bring it to a screeching halt.

So, Salty, at what stage did sexual reproduction arise in the evolutionary series leading to modern cetans?

Salty, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and describe your "answer" to my question on the cetan evolutionary sequence as tangential.

Do you accept that the sequence is genuine? At what point did sexual reproduction arise in the evolutionary sequence and terminate evolution?

Re: oh, look who is back!

So salty, it appears that you have no direct evidence that ancestral cetans reproduced asexually. You cannot guess when they converted from asexual to sexually reproducing organisms. Can you ascertain when cetans stopped evolving?
