Author | Topic: Strongest or most compelling evidence of Macroevolution? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Interestingly enough, it was not geologists who did most of the initial work on the geological column, but railroad engineers.
Canal diggers - William Smith in particular - even before railroads. I saw his original (1815) geologic map of "England, Wales, and Portions of Scotland" in London in September. Pretty neat artwork, and apparently pretty durn accurate, from before any of the geologic eras even had names.

I'm with you crash...at what point do you say it is macro instead of micro? If there is high genetic variation but morphological variation is low is that micro or macroevolution? If the reverse case is true i.e. variation in developmental genes lead to large morphological differences without neutral loci showing such variation is it micro or macro evolution? Pan troglodytes has about 4 times the genetic variation of Homo sapiens Kaessmann H, Wiebe V, Weiss G, Paabo S.
Great ape DNA sequences reveal a reduced diversity and an expansion in humans. Nat Genet. 2001 Feb;27(2):155-6. Are chimps therefore more macro-evolved and we are only microevolved?I think the concept is about as useless as "kinds".

Would you like to pick one or two, makes threads and defend what is at that site?

I saw that a long time ago and I was pretty unimpressed (I remember one place where Camp had to misrepresent the argument he was attempting to answer). Did you read Theobald's response to the "critique"?

Nope. Know where I can find it?

I wonder if Camp will or has responded.

Read the article I linked to.

quote:Actually, I felt that Camp's responses were all misrepresentations of Theobald's points. I didn't get the impression that Camp really ever understood what Theobald was trying to say.

You have expessed a desire to learn, Messenjah. Have you worked through both the original 29, the first critique and the response? There is a fair amount of material there but, considering the size of the field, really a very tiny amount.
However, though it is small it does encapsulate a lot of things to learn. One of which is, what is acknowledge to be a pretty good critique (compared to some of them ), the critique is not done nearly well enough. It seems to suffer from both not really understanding what it is critizing *and* then focussing on winning by actually getting careless with what it is saying. (Is it misrepresenting? That I will leave for the reader's eye. ) If you have further questions about it I'm sure people here will try to suss it out with you. If you don't I would take your statement about willingness to learn to be, perhaps, disengenuous.

Pardon? What part of that is speculation?

The part about the fossil record showing evolution occurred.
