What is fitness?

Those are both interesting examples of evolution and natural selection but that data doesn’t show genetic entropy to be false.

(facepalm) You didn’t ask for evidence GE is false. You specifically asked for real world instances of natural selection. Can you understand why it gets so frustrating to teach you science?

That’s what I’m asking for - which thread should I look at?

Almost every thread at PS ends up with evidence life wasn’t created only 6000 years ago. You can also easily find such evidence with a 10 second Google search. You claim a 13 year old can understand Sanford yet you can’t figure out how to work a search engine?

Your demands to be spoon fed are getting more over the top all the time. When we show you evidence you ignore it with some silly rationalization “maybe space aliens did it 20,000 years ago”.

Here’s a thread with the evidence for the sequenced 700,000 year old horse genome. There’s also a link to the oldest sequenced human genome at 430,000 years old.

Horse Genome discovered in Canada - - 700,000 years old!

Oldest genomes discovered… " At first, progress was fitful. Concerns over the authenticity of ancient-DNA research fuelled schisms in the field and deep scepticism outside it. But this has faded, thanks to laboratory rigour that borders on paranoia and sequencing techniques that help researchers to identify and exclude contaminating modern DNA." “These advances have fostered an ancient-genomics boom. In the past year, researchers have unveiled the two oldest genomes on record: those of a horse that had been buried in Canadian permafrost for around 700,000 years2, and of a roughly 400,000-year-old human relative from a Spanish cavern3.” "A Neanderthal sequence every bit as complete and accurate as a contemporary human genome has been released4, as has the genome of a Siberian child connecting Native Americans to Europeans5. “Enabling this rush are technological improvements in isolating, sequencing and interpreting the time-ravaged DNA strands in ancient remains such as bones, teeth…

Do you think Sanford can tell us why horses haven’t gone extinct from GE in 700,000 years?
