Canuckistani Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 That skeleton is not the missing link, just another piece of the puzzle. But how somebody can look at the fossil record and not think some sort of evolution of species is going on is beyond me. But then if you think the earth is only 6000 years old, you can think all kinds of bs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty AC Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Another interesting example of how mutations can "add" features to organisms. Newcastle University neuroscientist Dr. Gabriele Jordan, recently announced that she has identified a woman who is a "tetrachromat," that is, a woman with the ability to see much greater color depth than the ordinary person.According to Daily Mail, an ordinary person can perceive a million different hues of colors. The power to distinguish the hues comes from cells in our eyes called cones. In the average person, there are three types of cones each of which is triggered by different wavelengths of light. Discover Magazine explains that most people have three types of cones, and are said to be "trichromats." Color blind individuals have only two types of cones and they are said to be "dichromats." Almost all animals, including dogs and New World Monkeys are dichromats. http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/326976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
