Re: How's Your Dollo?
I don't think Klimov is much to blame. He didn't say that it can't happen (he thinks it did) but that many researchers had thought it couldn't. Which may well be true. It can't often happen that an organism rebounds from a parasitic lifestyle, and if this is the first known case he has a perfect right to gloat a little.
​
As for Dollo, it depends what he meant. But he can hardly have meant to deny (for example) flightless birds or aquatic mammals, can he?
