[MD] Distinguishing Levels (Individual level)

[Heather Perella]

Platt,

     Platt said:  "Yes, evolution has ceased in the
non-human world. Unless you can provide evidence to
the contrary. And I don't mean a new species of
mosquito or a different beak on a bird."

     What is evolution to you, if not a change in
species, as in the mosquito for one?  Do you know what
evolution means, just wondering, I would like to hear
your definition?  Dinosaurs don't exist now, but they
did.  Homo erectus or habilis existed, but doesn't
now.  Whales used to walk on land, but they don't now.
 If you understand the workings of evolution,
obviously the static patterns of biology are not going
to change quickly.  I don't go in my door and see a
hemlock tree, and the next day it flies over my house
singing a song.  How do you explain all these bones of
hominoids and other fossils that are similar to
existing or other previous creatures that no longer
exist?  How do you explain mosquito's changing species
on record?  What is your theory Platt? 

Thanks,
SA
