RE: Lizards Show Transition From Carnivore to Herbivore
I didn't know it was possible to witness evolution and the splitting of a given species in two classes! Wow!
Btw there is a typo in the table micro- vs macro-evolution. The second column first box should be macro evolution ;)
Isn't it awesome? We can see all sorts of microevolution in action today, both as a result of artificial and natural selection. This is part of the reason why many people accept evolution as a proven fact: while we can't physically observe large-scale macro evolution over a massive amount of time (other than fossil evidence), we can observe microevolution events to actually see small shifts and changes over time (and macroevolution is nothing more than ongoing microevolution over time).
I was wondering if anyone would notice the typo! xD That figure is from one of my old textbooks and I guess the mistake slipped through the editing process.
I have never thought about using this a proof for evolution! Thanks for pointing it out :D
