Not quite. You still seem to believe there is something in evolution that claims there is a sharp demarkation wherein one individual of one species is born as another species. We've tried to disabuse you of this notion and show you that it is populations that change into new species, but I don't think we've managed to succeed, at least from the evidence of your posts.

No I don't.

I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood your post 2021:

#2021: New Dinosaur Species Found in India ^
To: VadeRetro

Evos say that apes and we share a common ancestor? True or false? Through mutations over time man evolved upward from ape-like to man. At some point a radical enough change occurred that he was fully man (unless you just consider all men part apes). He had to have a mate. Unless a suitable female evolved exactly the same way he did, she still had part ape in her. If she did evolve exactly the way he did, why? Each person's genetics are different. A child can inherit a parent's gene, but to have a husband and wife arriving at that same point of fully human at the exact same time seems a little odd. Of course, having an ape turn, over time and mutation, into a higher form of species, namely man, is a bit odd too.

Bold mine for emphasis.  I'm not quite sure how we evos were to take the above except as illustrative of my contentions.

I can understand your misunderstanding from the post which you quoted. I know evolutionists believe that the changes occurred gradually. My point was at some point man was fully man. Unless every single creature gained that full manness at the same time, he was mating with something that would have been less (even if it only slightly less) human than he was. That was my point.
