> What is being discussed here, like it or not, is evolution...
Seems to me that there are a number of topics coming up under this thread.
Also, it seems to me that each writer seems to pick his favourite music
sheet and favourite drum to beat. The result is amusing, if not
particularly coherent.
Indeed, evolution is one of the topics, however, diversity is another, and
selection is another again. Opinion, accuracy -- or not -- of observation,
egos, and interpretation of history also contribute to the confusion. The
fact that a common understanding of the background concepts and teminology
seems sketchy at best does not help. Nonetheless there is a chance we may
eventually learn something from this thread, especially if we all try to
listen to the others and try to find truths in their statements that
challenge our own understandings.
