No clue.  Doesn't disprove evolution though.  I agree with Mark though
about judging today's theories in evolution than what was written in the
1850's.

I think you may have a misunderstanding of current molecular biology
theory.  The human races are really nothing more than different allelic
expressions of the same genes in the same species.  There was never any
converging evolution of different species into one species.  Its doesn't
work like that, according to theory.  And, according to theory, evolution
doesn't stop.  It can be extremely slowed down, and go extremely fast.

I still don't get it.  What are you talking about that natural selection
doesn't follow our social laws?  That make no sense.  Like holding an
erupting volcano accountable for murder when people die?

Well I don't want anyone to scram.  And if anyone told anyone to scram
they'd probably get a plethura of emails saying not to tell you that.  ;o)
As seems the case for many things.  Well I hope I have been as willing as
possible to answer questions as they pretain to my views, not to other
views, and not to what actually exists.  Sometimes I may not understand
your questions though.  But thats not unwillingness.

I loved the Titanic joke!  HAHA!!  I'll have to write that one down and
use it.  ;o)

Love
