Different species of the same genus can sometimes interbreed, but all races of a species can interbreed. <BR/><BR/>"Race", for example, is the way the huge variety of dogs are classified, though today we call them "breeds". Natural selection would readily explain some breeds or races prevailing in certain environments due to the advantages of the minor physical differences they have. Species differentiation is consider the result of true mutation, while race differentiation is due to environmental adaptation, which is why they were given separate mention in the original title.<BR/><BR/><BR/>However, since Darwin was originally an Anglican, later an Agnostic (and NOT atheist), the favouring of "races" would be done by natural selection, which is to say, done by laws of nature as laid down by God. So who is she calling a racist again?liberal supporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129945625510633921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-5326910576991429682009-01-08T14:47:00.000-05:002009-01-08T14:47:00.000-05:00Does she REALLY believe she can get away with clai...Does she <EM>REALLY</EM> believe she can get away with claiming that Darwin invented racism?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06271052703396070972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-9325532081304802162009-01-08T14:04:00.000-05:002009-01-08T14:04:00.000-05:00She's got a point about that Orchid Mantis, though...She's got a point about that Orchid Mantis, though.
