[Anonymous No.14511820]

Is more of a smooth transition than a define event that you can point at
Simply there's no hard cut off point of where one species become another, just the small changes in each generation of a population that after long periods of time pile up and make individuals genetically and morphological distinct from other populations that piles up different sets of changes and their original ancestral population, to the point they aren't recognizable as the same species or able to interbreed

I don't care about this hand wavy kind of explanation. You are sayig at some point a group can no longer reproduce with other group. But this group could reproduce with their ancestors

What you're saying is that there must be a generation or more at some point who can reproduce with their descendants and with their ancestors but the ancestors and the descendants can't reproduce between each other. Is this correct? If not, explain how else.

1 species of bird migrates all across the islands. Each island has different environmental affects on different families of the same species. Over time, the birds on each island adapt to the conditions more and more producing unique variants of the original species.

Mutation retard, it literally is. It's called naturally selection because nature is selecting for the characteristics which are preserved instead of a farmer or something. Selection was obviously something that has long been observed by humans in the context of farming and breeding (i.e. artificial selection) hence why the theory was so plausible.

let's say you have a perfectly straight metal rod, and every hour it bends slightly, about 0.0000001 degrees. this bend is completely negligible within a human lifetime, but after 102,739 and roughly one quarter years, the perfectly straight metal rod will now be bent at a 90 degree angle.
the rod started straight, and became a 90 degree angle, but the rate of change was so slow that the bending is virtually impossible to perceive within a human lifetime.

that is evolution, but instead of 102,709 years, you're looking at 2+ BILLION.

There was no concept of genetics in Darwin's time and ring species was a concept that came after him. OP was asking a question about Darwin's conception of evolution based on his book The Origin, etc. specifically. Darwin was just making an observation and creating a theory to explain what he saw, and then finding evidence to support it; he has since been vindicated by science but of course his writing does not explain everything—it to explains, remarkably, a lot but not everything—so of course it's handwavy.

>>14511783
>Species cannot interbreed
Most life doesn't "breed" thus this is an incomplete criteria. There have been cases of isolated self-pollinating plants that cannot pollinate with their phenotypically identical parents and people cope and call that a "new" species despite the lineage being far worse off. It's not extremely uncommon actually, so if evolutionary origins of species were true we'd expect to find many many 10s of thousands of these instances but we only find a handful. It makes sense when you realize life isn't gormillions of years old and thus life hasn't had too much time for these mutations to accumulate.

The species concept is an artificial construct that is arbitrarily assigned, but still useful. There is always going to be overlap between where one species ends and where another begins because you're forcing something that has transitional phases from A to B into neat little boxes labeled A and B. If you start labeling everything from A to B as A.3, A.2B.1, A.1B.2, B3, etc that's getting way too into the weeds to be useful as a concept.

If you look at a bunch of rocks made of the same material, you can tell a pebble from a boulder right? But at what point does the pebble turn into a stone, then turn into a rock, then turn into a boulder? That delineation will probably be different based on the observer. Same with a species, which is why there is ample debate over it. And I'm talking here in the general laymen sense, there's some geologist who will "ackchyually" me for the comparison because there's probably a technical definition based on measurements.

darwin is atheistic religious dogma, anyone who disagrees with darwinism is excommunicated from the atheistic "scientific belief" religion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warwick_Collins
>Collins studied biology at The University of Sussex, where his tutor was the leading theoretical biologist John Maynard Smith. In 1975 Collins voiced to Maynard Smith the view that natural selection could not drive evolution because it always acted to reduce variation in favour of an optimum type for any environment, whereas the central story of evolution was that of increasing variation and complexity. Collins quoted Charles Darwin in The Origin of Species ("... unless profitable variations do occur, natural selection can do nothing."),[3] and argued that if variation must always occur before natural selection can act, then variation, and not natural selection, drives evolution. He asked Maynard Smith whether he could search for a "strong" theory of variation. Maynard Smith warned Collins that he could not support his efforts to pursue a rival theory to the theory that natural selection drives evolution. Collins replied that he thought the object of science was to question and examine everything, including hallowed theories such as the theory of natural selection. Maynard Smith asserted that, on the contrary, the strength of science was its capacity to agree on certain principles, and act collectively to pursue agreed aims. This difference of view with his tutor made Collins give up his scientific career and pursue other interests instead.

Did you read it? One species doesn't give birth to another. There will be variation between the individuals of the species. Just the kind you see all around you in humans for instance. But if two populations of the same species can't interbreed because of for instance a geographical barrier, the variations between the two populations will go in different directions untill they can no longer breed. Other times there will be no barrier, but variation will interfere with breeding, leading to a slow separation.
A good exaple would be beetles. They have very specific sized and shaped holes and rods for mateing. Kind of like a lock and key, but with sex. Some will have large rods and holes, others will have small ones. Eventually the large hole/rod ones and the small rod/hole ones can't breed with eachother, though both can breed with intermediate ones. Different sexua selection preassures can apply at this point and the intermediate poplation will be inadequate in the eyes of the small and the large and it simply dies out. In the end you have two new species, who are almost identical but can no longer interbreed. Given enough time more variational differences will arise, and you get two separate, different, but related species.
Darwin had some good foundational ideas, but that was a long time ago. Evolution is not just what darwin said, there have been several breakthroughs in the almost 200 years since. The current model is 'modern synthesis theory of evolution'. You can read up on the molecular mechanisms of mutation, their effects on developmental biology (a single point mutation can have an animal grow new legs...), you can read up on evolutionary enzymology, the SELEX experiments, the Lensky experiments, mathematics of population dynamics, the long tearm maze experiments, and just so, so much more.

Let me put it this way. To breed, your chromosomes need to match. If it's just a 99% match, thats still fine, but any less then say 90% isn't. (these are not the actual numbers, just an example).
Population one changes 1% every generation. Population two does the same. It's not the same 1% though. So in 5-6 generations there is more than 10% difference between the two populations, even though no single population had a more than 1% difference to the one preceeding it. Hence you have two new species. They can't interbreed.

My favorite is the case of bats, who have a very narow range of hearing. They also have a very specific pitch which is specific to prefered pray size. Since their voice is instrumental to mateing, bats can only mate with bats who have the same pitch and hearing which is a resault of what size bug they hunt. So whenever a different size bug is encountered, speciation happenes in only a few generations. Which is why there are so many fucking species of bat.

No, it's just an observation. The mutation results in a deactivated transcription factor. Why would this protein and the genes it normally transcribes be included in the genome but not work? God must be an idiot.

>I am not religious but if you say that all the bad mutations are gone
You still haven't explained what a "bad mutation" is, so how can I say they're gone? All I can say is that mutations that were not passed on to the current generations are by definition gone. Do you disagree? Or do you have some other definition of bad mutation?

Of those that happen in codeing areas around 60% are harmless because of the redundant nature of the genetic code (all amino acids are coded for by multiple riplets). Of the mutations that do happen in protein codeing areas and aren't fixed by DNA repair mechanims, most happen in the hidrophobic amino acids, as 14 out of 20 are hidrophobic and mostly interchangeable. This is the reason for gene polymorphism which can be seen in all species. Any gene codeing a larger protein i have will be a few amino acids different in you and in almost any other person.
As for the actually harmfull mutations, most are selected against. Not many of us want to fuck criples.
As for positive mutations, see the SELEX experiments, bacterial antibiotic resistance experiments or the presistance of the lactase enzyme in humans.

the answer is: there's no clear definition of what a species actually is, it's just based on various observations of how different the phenotypes and genotypes are
as small changes accumulate within individuals of one species, at a certain point we decide that two subgroups of the species are now different enough to be called different species

[Anonymous No.14520862]

>>14511783
actually, interbreeding is possible across larger differences than just species, hybridization across different geni occurs all the time, and even hybridization across families is reported regularly
you must keep in mind that what constitutes these different categories is rather loosely defined in the first place, and that many common notions about which animals can possibly interbreed are almost always false, such as e.g. needing the same amount of chromosomes to produce fertile offspring
you should peruse this website, it's a treasure trove of information pertaining to hybridization: http://macroevolution.net/

Imagine that you have a book, a very large book.

If you flip from page to page or every other page, you won't notice a difference from one generation to the other, but if you skip various pages at a time the difference will be obvious and you can actually say that the lineage is composed of more than a species, even though you can't pinpoint any specific page where the "new" species actually emerged.

Think about it then in terms of incest. You cannot reproduce with for example a cousin without having high risk of genetic issues until you're with a 3rd cousin. This is because with that large genetic separation you two are now sufficiently different for your children to not be homozygous.

They are not capable of breeding in the wild, producing viable offspring is a strawman and I never mentioned that. Can you not read or do you just prefer lying? It's not "my argument" it's literally a criteria inconsistently used to define "species" First google result
"A species is often defined as a group of organisms that can reproduce naturally with one another and create fertile offspring"

Yes, that is correct. If you have three populations you could conceivably have it where population 1 and 3 cannot interbreed despite 1 and 2 interbreeding as well as 2 and 3 interbreeding. The user who responded with the wiki article on ring species provided an example of this though I figured it's worth stating outright. The ring species is an example of this happening across space but if you can understand that the same process has to have happened for every living species throughout time (not necessarily space) then you can get it. So yes, reproductive isolation is a thing that can accumulate gradually, as others have been trying to explain with different analogies.

Warwick Collins was a big brain, after he got excommunicated from academia for blaspheming Darwin, Collins was highly successful in everything else he did, successful popular fiction author, revolutionized hull design for mid sized sailing vessels. He would have no doubt made a big contribution to the sciences if he hadn't been excommunicated from blasphemy.
You are the one who should be laughed at mockingly, not him. Your cringing phycological insecurity is telegraphed by your ill informed, fake derisive laughter.

That's like the easiest shit I can imagine. It multiplies, one will go here, the other one will go there... different enviroments = different species. Of course it did not happen instantly.

>Explain how the examples I gave are cherrypicking
I already did. The dogs I mentioned are not considered separate species even though google definition says they are, ergo evolutiontards are cherry picking when it applies. Very simple.
>ERVs serve
Can you not read?
>There is no direct evidence you're related to your parents.
Of course there is retard. People observed me being born
There is no observation of what happened allegedly 100k or 1 million generations ago
>Let me know when you want to revise that statement
HAHA why would I need to? Your retarded non example doesn't nullify anything
>By your own criteria they are separate species, not mine.
Hilarious lie. They can't breed naturally in the wild. By many definitions that should make them separate species, but you cherry pick and say they aren't.
>Show me one thing in nature that could not have evolved.
Easy. The Fibrocarilaginaous ring in the eye is irreducibly complex. I know as an evolutionists you dogmatically deny at all costs no matter what that any biological system is IR, so don't bother saying it isn't. I already know you feel that.
>As what?
try reading
>Not me. Try again.
So if species can breed in wild they are not separate species yes or no, thus grizzly and polar bear are same species? Dog/wolf same species? Answer fucking question
>Thats not even what you claimed
Of course it is. My first post itt was how prezygotic barriers are invalid for designating separate species
>misrepresentations
>Why did you ask them
Lies, they are not misrerprsentations They prove ability to breed alone is an incomplete criteria for "speciation" which you deny and why you avoid my questions
>No one cares about your definition
Its more consistent than yours I guarantee it
>Speciation is observed regardless of your semantic
It hasn't even once unlness you play semantic games
>So you don't actually know
So daddy needs to do the math bc you are too stupid to do trivial extrapolations. My number is 650

Haha you truly can't read. These posts are ignored/unread as I pointed out that smearing your mental vomit into 2 (NOW 3 ROFL) posts just means you don't have the cognitive abilities to condense them into 1, which means you are bloviating instead of making valid arguments, like one line 2-3 word responses such as "as what", "where" and "meaningless" are mindless filler text for midwits and your posts are full of them.

I keep putting it in quotes because there is no proof these DNA similarities, shared among viruses and other species, were ever actually viruses. That is just a blind dogmatic assumption.

Mechanical reasons. The pic I gave actually uses a chihuahua and great dane to illustrate this here >>14523261 so it's not an idea I'm pulling out of my ass.
Funny enough I've btfo'd several evolutiontards regarding their myth of speciation before using these two dogs as an example and the pic just coincidentally used these two dogs as well. I didn't get the idea from that pic.

Except for the reasons I already pointed out.

Thanks for admitting I'm right. I don't know why you think calling his crackpot theories a small part of the site matters. They're still crackpot theories, ans the rest is just well known information about hybridization.

>not only are the relevant sections filled to the brim with information virtually no one has any idea about
You're projecting your ignorance onto others. Weird how this revolutionary insight was never able to pass peer review. It must be a conspiracy.

>Most mutations are deleterious
Wrong, most do nothing at all. Remember that most of the genome is noncoding, and even mutations in a coding region will probably not effect the function of the protein, either due to redundancy or similar amino acids.

>You don't just mutate an entire functioning gene. That's not how it works.
Who said that?

More nonsense that doesn't even respond to what I said.

The lengths you described were unnecessary and never occurred. Not funding your crackpot theory is not "economic sanctions." No one owes you funding. And I already refuted it. You have no response.

Where?

>The dogs I mentioned are not considered separate species even though google definition says they are
That's false since you took that defintion out of context from an article explaiming how it's wrong, and doesn't explain how the examples I gave are "cherrypicking." Making up some other example, which you didn't even do correctly, does not show how my examples are "cherrypicking."

>Can you not read?
I can. Now answer the question. What design do the thousands of nonfunctional ERVs serve?

>Of course there is retard. People observed me being born
Who? Where is their testimony? How do we know they attract lying? You have no evidence.

>There is no observation of what happened allegedly 100k or 1 million generations ago
There is no observation of what hairbrush at your birth, otherwise you would have presented it already. There would be plenty of empirical evidence, but you said common design =/= common ancestry. You were designed to be similar to your "parents." That's it.

>HAHA why would I need to?
You don't need to, you can just accept that you don't have parents.

>They can't breed naturally in the wild.
Of course they can.

>The Fibrocarilaginaous ring in the eye is irreducibly complex.
So are natural stone arches. What does this have to do with not being able to be evolved?

>try reading
Try writing. It's unclear what you're talking about since the sentence you responded to contains several different things. No such thing as inefficiency and unnecessary complexity of many features? No such thing as a genetic algorithm? No such thing as an intelligence?

>So if species can breed in wild they are not separate species
Clearly wrong in the case of hybrids Where did you get this definition from?

>My first post itt was how prezygotic barriers are invalid for designating separate species
You said variants not being able to interbreed and creating new species has never been observed. Now you're saying it has been observed but isn't speciation for some reason you won't explain. LOL.

>Lies, they are not misrerprsentations
They are. Organisms in the population that don't breed are irrelevant to the definition of species.

>Its more consistent than yours I guarantee it
Making all organisms one species is a perfectly consistent definition, but no one cares about that one either.

>It hasn't even once
Lie, you were already given several examples.

>So daddy needs to do the math bc you are too stupid to do trivial extrapolations. My number is 650
So you don't actually know, you just made up that claim. Thanks for proving my point. You're spouting religiously-motivated dogma and hoping no one will actually ask you for evidence.

>Matching "ERVs" are genetic similarities you mouth breathing retard
They are more than mere genetic similarities, they can only arise from a common ancestor. It's almost impossible for the same retrovirus to implant the same code in the exact same place in the genome of two different organisms. Yet this occurred thousands of times if vertebrates don't share a common ancestor. And it occurred such that the most closely related organisms share the most ERVs.

>I keep putting it in quotes because there is no proof these DNA similarities, shared among viruses and other species, were ever actually viruses.
You're delusional.
