Posted by Olog-hai on Fri Nov 3 19:12:21 2006, in response to Re: Earths Magnetic Feild/Currents Reversing?, posted by Subterranean Railway on Fri Nov 3 17:00:56 2006. "No, that's incorrect. False taxonomy. Still C. pipiens; or has always been a distinct species."No, they are a different species So I half-agreed with you. However, there's no proof that the species was not extant prior to the LU. "Based on what observation?" Multiple trials were conducted where C. molestus mated with C. pipies. No offspring were produced, at all Neither of us were privy to those trials, so the standards they used are unknown to us. Science may be unprejudiced, but scientists are not necessarily so. Analysis of C. molestus's genetic material also indicates that it's diverged from C. pipiens. Genetic pedigrees also indicate that there's a clear divergence of species . . . Looking at pedigrees of the underground mosquitoes, it seems that there hasn't been any gene flow The jury is still very much out on the issue. Note this article, which actually indicates that there is indeed wild "hybridization" of the "Molestus" and Pipiens classifications. There's also one thing that is grossly missing from this puzzle: It would be impossible for the "Molestus" variety of mosquito to survive in the LU tunnels solely. Why? Male mosquitoes do not and cannot drink blood—they subsist on nectar and/or plant sap (plants can't grow in the lightless LU, where there is no light to provide photosynthesis nor topsoil to allow nutrient absorption from the ground). Mosquitoes do not reproduce asexually, also. So HIV is not a different species from the similar chimpanzee virus? You're the first person I've heard to believe that I'm postulating it. Belief comes with proof, when it comes to physical things; metaphysical things are another matter. The jury is still out on whether or not viri are actually alive, since they are acellular and carry a tiny amount of either DNA or RNA (never both). "Nor has any such species turned into a so-called higher form of life." The fossil record clearly indicates that's not the case. Various dating methods clearly indicate a evolutionary progression of lifeforms Dating methods are unreliable. The fossil record, like I stated in another post, merely indicates that there were different species on the planet at one time, not their fate nor the origin of new species. That's where theories come in, to speculate (versus prove outright) on such matters. |
