| The one aspect of evolution that's almost completely missing is "speciesization". When and how do different species split off from each other? Why do certain animals have x amount of genetic material while others have x+y and when does such a thing occur.
As far as I know, there is very few information related to this. It's barely even theory. Pure speculation. Life changes over time:There are a lot of different species::Life must change so much that new species spring up from old ones via the same mechanic. There is the fish linked above, as well as different species that can still interbreed resulting in sterile offspring (horse+donkey=mule, lion+tiger=liger, etc.)...but very few observable evidence that speciesization occurs via the same mechanics as evolution.
Unless I'm mistaken, in which case I'm always up for new learnins! |
