Carolinagutlessman is trying to lead you to the term "ring species"--and away from the common sense experience that you already know from observing nature.

the evos' big push now is to attempt to set the terms of debate.

And when you can set your own terms in a debate, it isn't even a debate at all--which is how the evos want it.

I'd show him the respect of addressing him directly, but he threatens to run and make a nuisance of himself with the mods. Ergo, the gutless.

BTW, I'm still into believing there are only half a dozen real species of salmon, and all of them taste good ~ these guys are just playing with words (not biology at all) as they create these strange ways of identifying species.

Right now, all we have to do is figure out how the tens of millions, or even billions or trillions of virus genes in the sea get moved from that environment into our own genomes where some of them "do stuff".
