So your suggestion is that for a new species to arise all of the ancestral species must die off?

Can an evo ever NOT misrepresent or read into what someone says?

Apparently not.

Just what in my comment suggested that I thought that? I didn't address that at all, nor did I imply it.

If you want to discredit me you'll have to pick a more credible strawman to erect.

So where does this “rapid” variation within a species come from and why isn't it evolution as biologists define evolution?

Why are you so studiously and obstinately avoiding the question?
