It just got real for everybody.

a short summary is that one species of bird gave birth to a different species of bird. To make things ironic is that these are the the Galapagos finches. So take this as you like i just thought i'd share.

If i build an awesome car do you want to initially see all the pictures or just the before and after pictutes?

i posted the link if it grabs your interest, while wired may not be the best source it sure isn't the onion news.

Honestly, I didn't really read the full article. But what I got was that there was a sudden jump in traits/attributes for no reason. There was no gradual shift, just *BOOM* new bird.

Also, I like cars and would be interested to see all the steps in the car build.

havent read the article, but could that me mutation over evolution?

[DFSniper]

no, because the "mutated" species is reproducing within itself. if it doesnt sustain the species (dying out or starts breeding with others again) then it may be considered a mutation.
