I'm just saying, I"m not buying into evolution from a common ancestor.
Darwin concluded The Origin of Species, by saying that life may have arose from "a few forms or ... one" (letter, "Darwin was right", this week's New Scientist)

So Darwin himself said that the present diversity could have developed from a number of primeval forms. So Ellie, you are in good company!

Healthy genes act as team-players. They are teamish!
Their winning plays are
salvations of an aliveness of which they are a part.
Only a fraction of genes are selfish/parasitic (and they
parasitize teams).
