Zoology - March 2007

Animals have tails for assisting in balance and steering, propulsion, grasping, grooming (swatting flies is one example) and for display. Why would a mouse lose it's tale because we chopped them off for generations if the animal needs the tale? I think this test is completely false. Why would women grow holes for earing's in their ears if their is no life and death benefit to wearing earing's and having a hole in the ear? Why would you even assume a woman could grow that hole? There is not life or death benefit to having it in the first place. Evolution has to do with survival, if the mouse didn't need the tale then the tale would either shorten over time, or there would be a mutation in one of the mice to have no tale. Isn't the test showing that mouse offspring obtaining genetics to find cheese on the other side of the maze more accurate. Even with no natural selection, they are passing down traits that have something to do with survival. They only get to eat if they get the cheese.
