Re: Hyperevolution of us
Ah, Ned, I'm afraid that Creation Science has again provided the answers for us. Allow me to post some links to that paragon of Science, the CRS Quarterly.
Here we have a wonderful classification of the cats in a single holobaramin:
A variety of characters including ecological, morphological, chromosomal, and molecular data were used to characterize 17 cat species, the spotted hyaena, and the meerkat....Monobaraminic continuity within the cats and apobaraminic discontinuity bet! ween [sic] the cat and outgroup taxa leads to the hypothesis of a single Felid holobaramin.
(emphasis is mine)
Pretty nifty science, eh? Because we all know the cats form a single kind!
And now in primates we have this piece of great research on the Catarrhine primates:
We have found that baraminic distances based on hemoglobin amino acid sequences, 12S-rRNA sequences, and chromosomal data were largely ineffective for identifying the Human holobaramin.
Oops. Seems that this time chromosomal and molecular data are not sufficient to distinguish humans from primates! But all is not lost: with the proper selection of criteria:
Baraminic distances based on ecological and morphological characters, however, were quite reliable for distinguishing humans from nonhuman primates.
And the day is saved!
