Headzup!

Sure would be tragic if something new emerged to take advantage of changing conditions.

I was in the Galapagos in June 2001. Well worth the trip, although the 13 finches can drive you a little crazy. For example, on one island, you see the large finch. Easy to see and identify. No problem. On the next island you see a finch the same size and assume that it is also a large finch. But NOOoooo. It's a medium finch that has evolved to the size of a large finch due to lack of competition because there are no large finches on that island. But that's minor stuff that your naturalist will explain to you.

Aside from that, the islands are beautiful ranging from flat deserts to wooded mountains and it's a real thrill to swim and dive with sea lions, hammerhead sharks, and penguins. I highly recommend it!

Ping. (Please excuse me if you were pinged earlier.)

From the article:

But the day-owl is only one of many quirks of nature on the volcanic outcrops straddling the Equator in the southern Pacific whose unique wildlife helped Charles Darwin more than 150 years ago shape the principle of evolution through natural selection that today is the bedrock of scientific thought on the origins of life.

An example of poor science journalism. Evolution starts only after life is present. Traditionally, the theory of evolution is not concerned with the actual origin of life, only the origins of different species.

Bump.

Is this another survivor show?
