[Blunderov] This sentence caught my eye: "Another thing that this has shown
us is that evolution is not always about gain; the loss of complexity can
equally be an important player in evolution."
Problematic for the IDiots I think.
See:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/11/051124221029.htm
"Species evolve at very different rates, and the evolutionary line that
produced humans seems to be among the slowest. The result, according to a
new study by scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL),
is that our species has retained characteristics of a very ancient ancestor
that have been lost in more quickly-evolving animals. This overturns a
commonly-held view of the nature of genes in the first animals. The work
appears in the current issue of the journal Science."
Best Regards.
