This is another example of micro evolution because the evolution is always limited to the same family of species.
Thunderstruck, you are another example of macro ignorance, but would you call evolution in the order Perisodactyla microevolution too?
Seems to me that Leroy and TRH are not keeping up with what is going on in the evolution news. This horse business was discredited long ago. Here is one example.... from a noted and well respected evolutionist:
[u]Lifted:
Many museums and school textbooks today depict horse evolution as orthogenetic. That is, variations in the fossil record of the horse follow a particular direction and are not merely sporadic. In other words, evolution is supposed to proceed undeviatingly in a single direction, regardless of environment, organic activity, or such factors as natural selection. This is **not** what evolutionists teach today.Orthogenesis has been proved wrong and is no longer accepted by evolutionary scientists.
Notice this comment by the late Dr. George Gaylord Simpson, world renowned evolutionist and palenthologist:
“Orthogenetic evolution is supposed to proceed undeviatingly in a single direction, regardless of environment, organic activity, or such factors as natural selection. Discussion of this point has been so lengthy and extensive that it has, frankly, become boring. There is at present a clear consensus of paleontologists that orthogenesis, in this sense, is not real. There is no known sequence in the fossil record that requires or substantiates such a process. Many examples commonly cited, such as the evolution of the horse family or of sabertooth “tigers,” can be readily shown to have been unintentionally falsified and not to be really orthogenetic. All supposed examples are more simply and fully interpreted as due to some other cause, such as natural selection.” [/u]
A falsehood remains a falsehood, no matter how many claim it to be true.... no matter how often it is portrayed on the evening news as incontrovertible fact.
For you Indy....read what he says....
Dr. George Gaylord Simpson.....that’s one...., there are others.... they are there if one has the intellectual desire to see all angles.
Most don’t.....
Re: age...... there are more and more questions being raised about AGW.... models are just flat out wrong....there are even credible scientists saying the the measuring techniques being used to prove agw are bogus..... so, Indy, stay tuned... agw just another way to control the masses.....

The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
