Dilemma.... should I tell you about all the research done on the surrounding area where the fossils are found? Or should I leave you ignorant?
What do you think?
Research? Ohh, I get it...what you meant to say was "should I tell you about all of the presuppostions that were made first in order to interpret what fossils actually mean...in the surrounding areas where they were found".
That revision wasn't pretty, but it was more accurate

Are you not curious to go to a natural history museum?

It's "varieties", now? [/qutoe]
Now? There are many different races (varieties) of humans...as there are many different breeds of dogs...but those variations are limited to within the kind.

You want to define "variety", after you define "kind"?
Every heard of dog breeds?

Even so, the concept of species is a bit fuzzy and you can never ever find an element of a given species giving birth to an element of a different species.
But the offspring of the offspring of the offspring... (a few thousands of generations)... of the offspring of an element will be a different species.
You've been told this several times now. I don't expect you to acknowledge it this time, but... it's one more.
Hey poca..newsflash: Dogs produce dogs.
