“Living Fossils”
I thought this was a thread about the Democrat Party Leadership . . .
Here we go again,
Just how do you know it’s millions of years old?
Please explain that to the rest of us?
Why don’t you call it what it is?
A theory and nothing more.
Notice how they never use the notion of we believe it to be.
That’s because it would be classified a religion.
You have to believe....
They live in a gold mine. They don’t need to go anywhere.
there’s a living fossil occupying the white house...
“They had the same makeup, and so we started scratching our heads.” Like a bunch of monkeys that they are. Pure conjecture, nothing more.
I new a girl like that.
bkmk
Sounds a lot like Marxism. Lays dormant for years, then rears it’s ugly head.
Like panty-sniffer Joe?
This really isn’t surprising. If it works, why change it? And, the energy available is small and getting smaller over geologic time.
It is interesting to consider that change hardening human DNA would probably radically lengthen healty lifespan potential (like naked mole rats) assuming good eating/excersize habits and make people somwhat radiation resistant.
It seems like they could sequence the genomes to see how “different” the genomes are. They may have to take in to consideration epigenetic control of dna expression also.
When I was in school I was taught evolution ALWAYS occurs...but there are many extant organisms which show little or no change...cockroaches...coelocanth...tuatara...wollemi pine...and now these bacteria...so the oxymoron “living fossils” was coined.
Would be interesting to see the sizes of the genome and the different endonucleases and energy transfer systems as well as the dna correction enzymes and if there is lateral gene transfer as seen in other bacteria. Maybe these orgs can live in other environments and can become motile in different environments. Lots to learn here.
Living fossil...Joe Biden?😀

When a critter is perfectly adapted to its environment, what need does it have to adapt and evolve?
It’s not like it’s in an arms race with immune systems in its hosts, nor with competing critters...
