I was afraid that's what you meant. You and LostTribe continue this particular discussion with each other. You two seem to be on the same wavelength. I'll get back to the underwater artifacts with the rest of the gang.
Just so you understand for the future, theories (like evolution) don't offer conclusions. They are temporary logical constructs to explain observed phenomena. They're open to modification or complete elimination when/if new or contradictory facts present themselves. But I have a hunch you know this already.
I have as little respect for scientists who buy into pet theories with religious fervor on too little evidence as I do with fundamentalist 'true believers' of any kind, religious or political, who try to bend others to their wills without any evidence at all. They are the truly dangerous people of the world.

Excuse me. My post to you had nothing to do with losttribe and the theories of the same name. It was an attempt at humor. The target was the horde of interspecies evolution believers and their agressively dogmatic insistance that it be taught as truth in spite of having the disability you mentioned.
That's as far as I'll explain. If you can't take it from there, well, that's OK.

Don't go away mad, Mr. Huxley:
Brave New World, Writer : Aldous Huxley
Bernard Marx is the most important character in the first part of the book. Huxley doesnt describe him physically in detail. Bernard is thin and very small, even though he is an Alpha, who are supposed to be bigger than the normal size. Bernard looks like a Gamma person. He is an outsider, because he doesnt feel so confident as the other people, hes never asked for dates, and the lower castes dont sometimes obey him as they should. Everyone regards him as an odd person...
