In fact i wrote a essay called "Post flood Marsupial Migration explained" by Robert Byers. Just google.
I know my issue.
...
The like traits are so alike they MUST invoke convergent evolution to explain them. The few traits in common deal with minor points of reproduction. A few other minor details of the brain, teeth, etc. Yet to see this defining the marsupials into a group means to ignore the fantastic number of traits that would simply put them into regular groups of creatures.
I read your essay Robert, with some difficulty. You seem to insinuate in it, and in your posts on this thread, that the marsupials in Australia are all just minor modifications of some 'kinds' of ‘similar shaped’ placental mammals. But I note you seem to focus your comments on marsupials with the most similar traits to extant placental mammals (eg marsupial moles, thylacine, etc). Just for laughs I'd be interested to know what 'kinds' of placental mammals you think that kangaroos, platypus, possums, wombats and koalas all belong with.
