| Quote | | jerry: So when someone brings up that there are thousands of cichlid species or 60,000 different beetles one can point to Darwinian processes that narrow the gene pool of a certain population and produce what we have called different species. Occasionally there will be the minor mutation that will affect a species but they will always be minor. |
Yes, microevolution in beetles.

Sort of like the minor variations between mice and men. Same basic body plan, organs and skeleton. Most of the same genes and biochemistry. A little different in size, a bit more gray matter in the one. (I forget which.) Otherwise, very similar.
One significant difference. While mice and cats have a somewhat adversarial relationship, I understand humans are kept as companion animals by the feline species.
