Give your one best shot - against evolution

the fact that humans havent speciated and arent beginning to. only natural selection and choice in breeding have affected the way our different cultures appear.------------------

how do you know that we won't speciate?

i havent heard that mermaids have been discovered. your last question has that circular problem in that you havent substantied enough evidence to prove beyond a doubt that we will.------------------

The arctic need not speciate to survive in the cold - they need only develop warmer clothing and other technological adaptations. (Of course they may tend to be plumper - but that is a very minor adaptation.)
--yes we are very different from other creatures which can lead to the assumption of Creation or ID.------------------
