There is no direction to evolution. The environment influences what species will survive and selects against those with less fitness. There is no way we can tell which way any animal will evolve into or branch off into. Only that it has and is going on.



Their skin darkens because their DNA codes for more melanin (a protein) to be made. If they were isolated from the rest of the world long enough (millions of years), then through variation and mutations, their DNA would differentiate from ours so much we would be unable to reproduce with them, thus a new species.

Theres not much more I can say. But it seems like neither one of us is going to change our minds.
As far as changing eachothers mind, I don't care to do that. I think things can be discussed without being condesending. I can have attitude, but I have refrained from saying some things in this bored that I have been thinking. That comes with maturity, and age.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

I believe what I believe, and I believe in God. Which turns evolution into adaption. exept that the theory of evolution doesn't include god.
