Hey, this belongs in the evolution thread.

[9701Dawg]

Which thread is that? Some of these threads are so long they are starting to resemble War and Peace.

Or maybe this belongs under the abortion thread, where we were debating what makes something human for purposes of individual rights.

Nothing natural going on here.

I will give you that, but it does demonstrate that radical genetic change can occur within a species without comprimising the species ability to survive. Obviously this doesn't show a driving force for evolution, but how adapatable genetic code is.

Oh, I totally agree. It's really brilliant isn't it? I mean, if I'm going to design many different objects, how smart is it that I design them so that some parts can be interchangeable from one to the next? Even you should enjoy how logical that is.

Since they originated from common ancestors, it should not be very surprising that the parts can be interchanged without much of a problem. :icon_wink:

Wow, I didn't realize that there was anything in the fossil record that show transitional creatures that could be described as part human and sheep.
