Radical New Theory of Evolution —“Could Turn Current Thinking on Its Head”

A new groundbreaking hypothesis counters popular evolutionary thinking that living organisms evolve by adding genes rather than discarding them. The new theory —“Black Queen Hypothesis” —suggests some species are surviving by discarding genes and depending on other species “to play their hand.

According to the hypothesis, evolution pushes microorganisms to lose essential functions when there is another species around to perform them. This idea counters popular evolutionary thinking that living organisms evolve by adding genes rather than discarding them.

“A common assumption about evolution is that it is directed toward increasing complexity,” said Erik Zinser, associate professor of microbiology at the University of Tennessee . “But we know from analysis of microbial genomes that some lineages trend toward decreasing complexity, exhibiting a net loss of genes relative to their ancestor.”

Zinser and colleagues formed their theory after studying photosynthetic bacteria called Prochlorococcus.

I was just reading about this earlier, really interesting stuff. I hope to see more research on it.

The religious argument lacks internal logical consistency. Unless you’re also going to stop covering viagra for men who aren’t married to women of child-bearing age and actively trying to conceive, & compulsory chastity belts to prevent masturbation.

Ex-fucking-actly 

I fucking love you.

Ashley is my favorite gender neutral name. :D Oh gosh I could talk about kid names FOREVER. Josephine after my sister, and call ‘em Joey.

I didn’t watch Gone With the Wind early enough in my life to accept Ashley as a gender-neutral name.  XD  Josephine is good.  My sister’s name is Lindsey, which is also a good gender-neutral name.
