The theory is on solid ground, but that doesn’t mean it can predict exactly what foxes will look like 800,000 years in the future.


 

That is why evolutionary scientists do not try to make such ridiculous predictions.

This should be a lesson to climate 'scientists' who, for some reason, DO make ridiculous predictions way into the future.

That's an interesting interpretation of taking 100,000 years of historical data and extrapolating 100 years into the future.

 

(And , of course, by "interesting" I mean wrong)

If you think it is wrong then say wrong.'

Then say why.

It does not matter how much historic data you have or how far into the future you 'extrapolate' if you do not have  a credible model.

Do you have one?
