Animals that Defy Evolution?

Question

Has anyone ever seen them? I am so glad that they have finally released them in Wal-Mart. How bout you?

Answer 1

There are no animals that defy evolution. Not even platypus. Not even parasitic creatures. Not even creatures that are co-dependant on each other for survival. (and evolution scientists do touch that one with the proverbial "ten foot pole" In fact - it is organisms like that they are drawn to and get some of the best understanding of evolution)

Answer 2

Actually, you're missing a few facts. Take the horse's hooves for instance. First there were 5 toe-like structures. Then the "toes" became attached so that there were 3 "toes" per hoof. The the 3 connected into a single rounded bottom. Let's analyze the giraffe's neck. The giraffe eats from short trees. Those that can reach the higher, more plentiful fruit survive and reproduce, resulting in tall offspring. Each generation, height is advantageous, so the animals with longer necks survive. Over time, the neck goes from small to very long. Structures don't need to evolve together. The giraffe just needs longer neck muscles, but that would happen easily. After all, short people can give birth to tall people without neck problems. I admit that I know nothing about the metabolism of hummingbirds.

Answer 3

Are you referring to Wal-Mart customers?? In which case, I'm pretty sure they're evidence of societal degradation and collapse, but have nothing to do with evolutionary theory.

There are a small number of organisms that pose puzzles for evolutionary biologists - such as conodonts or dinoflaggelates that don't have any obvious evolutionary relatives, but these don't 'defy' evolution so much as show how diverse and bizarre the evolutionary process can transform organisms.

Critters like the platypus are actually very good evidence FOR evolution, being living examples of a transitional form between reptiles and the 'higher' mammals.

Answer 4

Evolution isn't a hard and fast set of rules governing what species should be like so it can't be defied. Animals have the characteristics needed to survive in their niche within the eco system they inhabit- subjective human opinions of them are of no relevance. Neither the platypus or bombardier beetle provide any problems for evolutionary biologists but this is the kind of ignorance you're dealing with.

Answer 5

Two points, evolution is the mechanism of change, it is not a line/rule to be defied.
I shop at Wal-Mart because it is cheaper, and convenient. I have two little boys and when I go shopping, it is an adventure. To get it all done at once is really helpful. There are a lot of customers at Wal-Mart that make me question a lot of things (especially after midnight). I'm not ghetto enough to threaten you with some absurd revenge, but I'm poor enough to take offense.

Answer 6

Surviving half man half monkey hybrids. Assuming, by evolutionary standards that some bloodlines in some geographies have evolved further than others, due to the environment, there should be millions alive at each stage. Never can every single animal in a species evolves at the exact same rate worldwide. Due to natural selection, some wouldn't need to evolve.

The only way humans are different from eachother is race. Saying that somebody from Europe, or America, or Africa, or Asia, or anywhere else, is less evolved from another is racist.

Answer 7

Actually the corpulent women with flowered dresses you see in Walmart are consist ant with the need to store foods in time of famine. Since many sit on their massive @sses eating fast food watching Dr. Phil their food storage is a detriment hence the high glucose laden monoliths that lumber the Ultra Large thong aisle drooling over the triple Stuffed Oreos might survive the next famine if they don't croak from diabetes.

Answer 8

Yes,they exist.They disprove evolution easily.Some have parasites that co-exist living inside their bodies that each have a mutually exclusive function,but can't exist on their own.And no evolutionist dare touch the subject with a ten foot pole.They dodge around it using the art of pilpul.

Answer 9

The platypus.

Answer 10

bombardier beetle
