Two Simple Questions

@Emosaur is THAT a fact ? Wow.
I didn't know that African and Asian elephants couldn't interbreed . I just automatically assumed they could.
Shit.
So 'technically' they are two different species ?

@Emosaur well this is fascinating. I NEVER knew this at all.
Thanks .

[quote] you dont see species changing to another species[/quote]

Let me ask you a question: If over a short period of time, animals can adapt to their environment making physical changes to their bodies and those changes stack up over successive generations....what stops those changes from stacking up so much that the descendant population is no longer recognizable as the same "kind" of animal?

@Pikachu do we still have that going on? Any case/animal that you can point to thats in that process now?

@Kstrong

All animals are still undergoing evolution.
But how would we be able to identify an animal population that is on it's way to giving rise to a new population without already knowing what the hypothetical future population looks like?

And i'm still interested in an answer to that first question.
We know that animals change over time through successive generations. By what mechanism do these changes stop stacking up at a certain point?

@Pikachu evolution within their species..... not from water fish with gills to steping out walking in land breathing air..... or you wanna say that my long last ancestor was an ape?! ..... we'll agree to disagree...

@Kstrong

My dude...there are fish that exist today which can go on land and breath air. Google it.

I'd be happy to give you an example proving that you are indeed related ancestrally to non-human apes if you say the word...but i get the sense you're not very interested in examining this particular belief...

@Kstrong We are Homo Sapiens we are apes
