Hi @stcordova -

I’ve been thinking about your argument that the strong differences between protein domains prove a lack of common ancestry.

Here is a queen + opposite colored bishops endgame I recently played that ended in a draw:

And here is a very, very different position: a double rook endgame in which I was 2 pawns down as black but managed to swindle a master for a draw by (threat of) perpetual check:

The 2 endgames are radically different, and there is no possible way to transpose between them.

In your opinion, does the stark difference and lack of transposibility of the 2 positions prove that they could not have arisen from a common ancestral position?

Thanks,
Chris Falter
