Petrovich and Darwin - two quick notes


Douglas N. Petrovich has made a real or supposed discovery, which if correct, and if the stele is associated with some organic material (if there are blood, sweat, tears or plant fibres on or under the stone, to use common language, or charcoal in the colours on it), this could overturn my identification of archaeological and Biblical events with a new node, that might overturn my Exodus and Joseph in Egypt nodes:

Darwin made some important work on pigeons, and especially on pigeon baraminology, as we would now call it.

Pigeons don’t fancy Darwin

I used to be an avid reader of Edgar Andrews' From Nothing to Nature back in the late 80's in the Swedish translation (as I recall it, the Swedish translation Ur intet first combined two earlier English works, which were then reissued as From Nothing to Nature with same combination as in Swedish, but with original English texts, later, in 1993).

I was challenged to pick up a lent copy of Origin of the Species. I was thrilled by the very good discussion on pigeons (as such), but very much put off when this discussion of a band species was used as a prop to promote even pigeons and eagles, birds and bears and batrachians, being ultimately parts of band species that had lost intermediates and were therefore no longer band species. From the smaller to the greater, the consequence is invalid, two pigeon species can very well be band species descended from an older pigeon species, while pigeons and eagles were all the way created different and do not descend from archaeopteryx./HGL
