Impossible evolution of new beneficial proteins

He was mistaken, then. Does a population of Mossi people in West Africa whose DNA codes for both hemoglobin A and hemoglobin C have a) more, b)the same amount of or c)less information in their genome than a neighboring population whose DNA only codes for hemoglobin A?

So being able to make two different proteins, where you could only make one before the mutation, is a decrease in information.Right.Under what definition of "information?"

Where did I see that.....
there is a breed of chicken that has feathers down its legs where most chickens have scales (scutes, actually). Darwin's Terrier, do you know something about that?I'll be back... heck, I might even find a reference to this - scales to feathers...it can't be done, except when chickens and such do it....Added in edit: start here -

And similarly, when you start with a rat-sized primate and end up with one that argues by means of a keyboard, that's not evolution. They're still just primates.
