Now wait a sec, not being directly familiar with the experiments to which you're referring, I'm assuming they used fruit flies due to the abbreviated life spans in relation to our own, days to our decades. That being the case, the theories of evolution I've known (and I am a subscriber to evolution as a overall theory) posit that evolution takes thousands of years for even a small alteration in the species to set in (as opposed to individual mutations) None of the theories I've read posit that the changes are brought about by a number of generations passing. So fruit flies within the theory, wouldn't necessarily evolve any faster than other species just because they die quicker.
Am I misinterpreting the point of your example?
LOL !! Most of the hummers in our neighborhood are driven by the succer moms.
So you're saying that the fact that there's thousands of generations of fruit flies that exist in the same amount of time that one generation of humans exists is irrelevant? It would take the same amount of time to produce the same amount of changes regardless of the number of generations involved? You've got to be kidding.
It's not a matter of fruit flies dying quicker, it's that they can grow to reproduce in a much shorter period of time.
Besides, with all the attempts at genetic manipulation, where man has tried to speed up the process (and not only with fruit flies), no new species has been created.
You got it. They're still fruit flies.
Scientists can't do on purpose what they claim happened by accident.
