Try me. I can be pretty self-deprecating at times. :)

One study, no matter how intriguing, does not necessarily a fact make. When lots of other people do the same thing, think about it some more and in different ways, poke and prod at the process, analysis, and results, etc., and come up with the same conclusion, then we can talk about facts, overturning, etc.

Seems like we have 3-4 different interpretations of the study's significance. From 'confirms evolution' to 'unexpected results'. Whatever the significance, it seems obvious to me that evolution is not fully understood by the people on this forum (me included).

No one understands it fully. Evolution sits next to relativity, particle physics, and women in that regard.

At least relativity doesn't yell at you for hanging around other abstract theories of the universe. :D

Threadkiller came about because of the total lack of response I (didn't) receive for a couple of weeks. It seems like I was killing threads left and right.

That is because your posts excel, and are the total peak of expression, and everyone is left thinking "Follow That!!" :D
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).

Not many things are *fully* understood. For a standard by which to judge scientific understanding, that is a straw man.

Are we supposed to believe that book written (so-called 2000 years ago) is supposed to explain the beginning of the universe?
Hell, people in those days though lightening was made from angry gods!
At least it should have more than one chapter covering that event, jeebus!
