The Evolution! It Hurts!

That "lecture" about the inexplicable changes in evolutionary mutations broke my brain. I'm not sure, but I seem to recall that I actually once read about the anglerfish's evolution. And the fact that Robin's mentor can't imagine how a small development of the fish's fin might have helped him doesn't make it impossible that it did; also it's not like the boxer crab's ancestor suddenly started to pick up sticks and what not and luckily picked up the right things to survive.

 

I get what this portion was getting at, but still. Listening to that felt wrong, as if this wasn't Sigler, but some lesser pseudo-author.

I strongly agree with the point about how external chromosomes have a better chance of creating a chromosomal shift than random mutations. I think that sums up scotts infodumps quite nicley

 For Sigler Godd's work on Nocturnal and Ancestor, I was/am impressed. From my experience we have to be careful not to confuse science with Science Doctrine.

 How I was taught science was and is this."Proven Science is fact until its Dis-proven". If we do not constantly challenge Science Doctrine with Blind/Neutral Scientific results AND test them, we become stagnate. Its very hard not to project our personal beliefs and views over the results.

 The greatest enemy of the Catholic Church's Institution was the telescope that showed Galileo the universe in a different view. The Church*aka the most Educated persons in power* were set in their ways to see anything different. We just have to be careful. To remember WE do not Know everything...not yet...

 If done enough and passed on to others through generations and assimilated observed behavior, yes it can.

 Does anyone know anything about the theorized thing only "seen" in the above mentioned critters, called Spontaneous Evolution? I thought this is what Marie LaTrell was stuck with?
