"All I have to say about this nonsense is that learned or acquired traits are not inherited. Behavior does not alter or create Genes."

Nothing in the article implied learned behaviors were inherited.

"The Genes for a human pelvis and foot had to be there already, before they could, over time, becomes more prevalent in the population."

No. Genes in a population change over time. That's what it means when a physical trait becomes more common. The genes for that trait become more widespread in the population. Gene pools change, and they can acquire new genes they didn't have before.

I am not going to cover this here with you, unless you are a geneticist. Years ago I was in the top 1% of college graduates in this area of study.

What you wrote is incorrect. Please accept that.

Nothing follows.
