Re: How are ring species evidence for upward change?
Why are these things a step forward?
​
I think it's a symptom of godidititis - this idea of "higher" and "lower" animals which has been inherited into the system as a descriptive rather than perjorative matter.
​
evolution is...sideways. Not really up or down. Towards more complexity, perhaps, but that's another matter.
