Happy Holidays

@Troy Brooklyn Tech and Syracuse University did a great job with educating you. How did you think genetics has no place in evolution. Oh wait that's the bit Charles Darwin missed. The other major factor, of course, was the fact that Darwin failed to arrive at an understanding of the mechanism of inheritance, despite realizing its importance and devoting a vast effort to assembling evidence in his Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication (Darwin 1868). Unfortunately, he was unaware of Mendel's work, despite its publication 2 years earlier (Mendel 1866). Mendel's work has now, of course, permanently revolutionized our understanding of heredity, and his tragic failure to obtain recognition in his lifetime is a well-known story. It is less well known that Mendel was well aware of the importance for evolution of understanding genetics: Gregor Mendel is also important in statistics. So I'll paraphrase that Darwin's Theory of Evolution was incomplete because he didn't know how to interpret his data. And it didn't take genetics into account. Congratulations Troy you are wrong on three counts. I don't think it is possible to be more wrong. Thanks i have learned something about science and human nature.

@Troy do you know who Francis Galton is. Second question is genetics important in the theory of evolution. Is the field of genetics devoid of mathematics? If you cant answer those questions correctly you are missing some information. But you will find some excuse nit ti answer the question although you will respond. Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. http://www.genetics.org/content/183/3/757 Darwin's theory of natural selection lacked an adequate account of inheritance, making it logically incomplete. We review the interaction between evolution and genetics, showing how, unlike Mendel, Darwin's lack of a model of the mechanism of inheritance left him unable to interpret his own data that showed Mendelian ratios, even though he shared with Mendel a more mathematical and probabilistic outlook than most biologists of his time http://www.genetics.org/content/183/3/757 Soon after publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, Francis Galton undertook studies of how various traits might be transmitted from parent to offspring... Galton, in his personal correspondence with Darwin, came close to this conception, but never proceeded to a testable formulation. http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org/resources/timeline/1876_Galton.php

Seriously, you have been arguing with Chevdove and you still can't answer this ❓I have not read all of the posts in this thread. Since i didn't have an opinion. Yet you are still asking me for my opinion on a topic I haven't followed.

I guess they aren't like opinons. Since your partners dont have them, . Are your partners inflatable?

Possibly, although asshole brown isnt really a light color. You may have encountered more light assholes than i.

Definition of asshole in English: asshole A stupid, irritating, or contemptible person

I will stop encouraging you to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. @Troyineer. I gave you top billing plus Piontroy sounds silly.

Pioneer1 700 Posted Monday at 12:04 PM Cynique And you want to replace these white lies and myths with black ones Mythology has it's place but I want to replace lies with TRUTH, which has no color @Pioneer1, thank you for showing me not to take anything you say at face value.

Perhaps someone else can explain the question you are evading? Or I can assume the question was too complicated for a yes or no answer from Troy. Happy New Year.

And ignore them.

It's much better that I ignore your rudeness and your feigned (?) stupidity.

Sometimes it is useful to listen.

Merry Christmas, Cynique. I love your mind.

Merry Christmas

I gave you an answer. I ask the librarian they git paid to educate people.

“It’s a horror film [and] I dedicated a lot of myself to create a new horror mythology, a new monster,” Peele said in Los Angeles last week. “I think that monsters and stories about monsters are one of our best ways of getting at deeper truths and facing our fears as a society.”

Get a dictionary.

Go to the library.

Whether its a fairy tale myth or allegory it serves the same function. Its a truism housed in a story that is not true. Hopefully that clears it up for you.

@Troy had you heard of Francis Galton before i mentioned him?

Hansel and Gretel is a fairy tale. Its not an actual news story from Germany. It isn't true. However children taking candy from strangers is a bad idea. That is the lesson in a story that's fiction. That is the function of fairy tales. They are fantastic stories that aren't true. Yet they are instructional and illustrate truths. Oedipus Rex is the story about a man who kills his father the king and marries his mother. It is also a Freudian psychological concept.

Perhaps someone else can explain it to you and Troy. I thought my explanation was clear.

Good timing your post arrived one minute after my explanation. Interesting

Pay close attention to the answer Troy I am writing very slowly. A Myth is something true that never happened. So i believe the truth that is revealed, but not the story thay reveals it. So either I am being cryptic or you....
