So give me an answer, not a defence. I was just wonderin'... If evolution happened in abrupt changes, wouldn't two animals have to undergo the same (or a similar) change? I mean, if in each step the new species can't breed with the old, we would need two of the new species in order to get something started. What's the chance that there are two animals, 1 male and female, within the general vicinity (close enough so that they could find eachother), undergo the same drastic change in the same generation? -- Micha Berger 2525 Amsterdam Ave. Suite M406 NY, NY 10033 (212) 781-0756 {philabs|cucard|pegasus|rocky2}!aecom!berger
