| | | You know what I always wondered Tim? Have you ever seen the chromosome numbers on the DNA of different species? There is no (apparent) relationship of chromosome numbers to the complexity of make up of animals. That means that through evolution, (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I just want to know why critters that look so much alike outwardly are so genetically different and how they got to be that way. I wish I had the charts that I found in my (...)

With this in mind, it's difficult to assess the viral pathology of an organism of which you have only fossilized bones (...) (23 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
