Quoting ARLO J BENSINGER JR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > [Arlo] > Are you suggesting that, as a result of being responsive to DQ, "Animal X" > could die, but UTOE, who is not able to respond to DQ, can't?
No. > The question here is give me an example of something Animal X could do, as a > result of being responsive to DQ, that UTOE (and other animals today) can no > longer do. If you can specify the specific individual animal that moved evolution along you will be a hero among biologists and probably receive a Nobel prize. Maybe it was that half-bird, half-dinosaur that was found in a fossil. But I would look for its predecessor and the one before that and the one before that. > [Arlo had asked] > Could ALL single animals at one point in time respond to DQ?

All things? No. I gather you believe everything responds to DQ. I don't.
