Selective breeding isnt evolution, because you guiding the process

2019-04-06 21:10:49 UTC  

But it is interesting

2019-04-06 21:11:02 UTC  

Actually the Scaleless gene was found in the wild

2019-04-06 21:11:19 UTC  

It probably was

2019-04-06 21:11:24 UTC  

It was

I know the person who got the first one

2019-04-06 21:12:20 UTC  

but thats not evolution, evolution is change in a gene pool from generation to generation by random mutation, natural selection and genetic drift

2019-04-06 21:12:39 UTC  

selective breeding is usually not done with random mutations and it is not natural

2019-04-06 21:12:45 UTC  

So its not evolution

2019-04-06 21:13:03 UTC  

But it is way to show how it works without it takes many years

2019-04-06 21:13:16 UTC  

In a sense I suppose

2019-04-06 21:13:22 UTC  

But I prefer things like boxcar2D

2019-04-06 21:13:36 UTC  

Showing it via a program of random mutations and selection pressures

2019-04-06 21:13:42 UTC  

Also have worked with wild animals who through countless of generations split into two completely animals

2019-04-06 21:14:01 UTC  

I would need to inspect how wild these animals were

2019-04-06 21:14:16 UTC  

if you were working with them, could they be really called wild? I would need to know more to say so myself.

2019-04-06 21:14:36 UTC  

Living in nature and no contact with humans
The only interaction they had was when samples where needed

2019-04-06 21:14:44 UTC  

It reminds me of the 'wild' horses they found that actually ended up being horses domesticated by the original trainers thousands of years ago]

2019-04-06 21:15:13 UTC  

I would need to see for myself

2019-04-06 21:16:01 UTC  

There is a lot of papers on a few Darwin finches on Galapagos
There is also pictures of that

Proving evolution is something I tried to do when I was much younger, its old news for me

2019-04-06 21:17:05 UTC  

I am rusty on the subject

2019-04-06 21:17:45 UTC  

But usually it seems that its appeals to intution that are used by those that argue against evolution. They never actually start on the basis of understanding it before they try to smear it

2019-04-06 21:17:54 UTC  

thats why they say things like ''why are there still monkeys''

2019-04-06 21:17:54 UTC  

There is actually a interesting species of fish called the cave tetra
Depending on where the specie was born it either is totally blind and pink or have eyes with beautiful blue colors

2019-04-06 21:18:11 UTC  

Ah, it changes its genetic expression

2019-04-06 21:18:21 UTC  

Epigenetics

2019-04-06 21:18:22 UTC  

Primates would be more fitting
Monkeys are different

2019-04-06 21:18:34 UTC  

what the heck

2019-04-06 21:18:46 UTC  

wht is this.....

2019-04-06 21:19:56 UTC  

The species is actually questioning scientists if the blind version is actually slowly evolving into a new species as they are so different

2019-04-06 21:20:50 UTC  

Sadly not a lot of studies can be done with the wild population as there aren’t many left in the wild

2019-04-06 21:21:09 UTC  

They live in only one or two caves

2019-04-06 21:21:18 UTC  

And super sensitive to pollution

2019-04-06 21:29:55 UTC  

If the is earth flat why are all the other planets not That is a big flaw in flat earthers logic!

2019-04-06 21:31:02 UTC  

That’s like saying the rotating toys above a baby’s crib, means the crib is toy shaped. No thanks.

2019-04-06 21:31:21 UTC

2019-04-06 21:31:23 UTC  

are you
