Re: Ordinary selection of built in variation is not species to species evolution
How do I know mammals and carnivores are irrelevant? Well, I'm the one trying to establish the criteria here so I'm the one who knows that mammals and carnivores don't fit the criteria I'm trying to define, which is very specific features or what I called "points." In the case of dogs and cats that fits "Family" on the Linnaean chart but in the case of birds I think it's "Class" for "Aves.". I also mentioned cattle and deer and pigs and I could add bears. I could look them up on the chart I guess to find out where I think they belong, keeping in mind that all I want to do is find the category where a bear is a bear is a bear quite specifically etc. It wouldn't be "mammalia" or the equivalent of "carnivore" it would be specifically a bear. I'd probably have to break down "Reptiles" in the same way I'd break down "Mammals" but that's a category I haven't looked at. I still need to find that chart I had originally. This seat-of-the-pants discussion has to be pretty limited.

Tangle changed the subject as it is usually discussed, that's why I said what I said. He hasn't been in on previous discussions.

Well I'm the only one here trying to figure out what a Kind might be so I guess for this discussion I'm the "arbiter," yes.

What makes you think EvC is the only place I make use of my thoughts or that I say everything I think here?
