I have seen no such claims in any scientific source.

I listed those for human evolution from hominids to current man. That's the
family/genus/species record.

A cat didn't evolve into a dog or vica versa.

It's hard to see with your head placed in the sand, I would imagine.

Jon said he would defend anything on that one particular web site. Dave
listed a number of objections, including inaccuracies on the 1st and 2nd
laws of thermodynamics, which should be right up the alley of a guy with a
degree in physics. No response.

Done it. Deal with it.
