Wrong again, I'm afraid. But closer. It must be something with a tail...

See I figured you were emphasising that just to mislead us... Well, it's got obvious rear 'legs' but no clear sign of any forward limbs... Kangaroo?

Oh, and since it seems all Willowtree is willing to bring to this thread is a temper tantrum, doesn't it render the thread rather aimless?

Okay, what's that 'cat' up the tree then? Are there any baraminologists who'd like to comment?
Yes, this is aimless... but no more futile than most of these discussions, I'd guess...

Re: Similarities of two sorts.
jp, I think the presence of shared pseudogenes, eg. GLO pleudogene, supports the claim of common ancestry for humans and chimpanzee. At the same time it is strong evidence against convergent evolution of the 2 species. How could convergen evolution explain possession of a non-functional gene by two different species?

The Thylacine should be referd to as the "Thylacine", not the Tasmanian Tiger/Tasmanian Wolf, that is what I am trying to point out.

What's so special about that sample? Why does it contradict convergent evolution?
It seems to me that the Thylacine has such a phenotypic makeup wolf/tiger, because of herditary descendent.

Read other posts, No comment on your entire post because it seems of little importence.

Decent
It seems to me that the Thylicine has such a phenotypic makeup wolf/tiger, because of herditary descendent.
Are you saying the thylicine (thanks for spelling correction) is "similar" to a wolf/tiger because it is a descendent of a wolf/tiger kind? That the thylicine is a decendent of a wolf or vice versa?
As for your "bump" of the "That is not a difference really." post of yours. Could you explain how different or similar you think the skulls are?
To catch up we are discussing Milton's "virtually identical" skulls are we not?
If you think they are "virtually identical" that it would take an expert zoologist to tell them apart (as Milton suggests) then I suggest you look again.
Is your decent comment suggesting that you think they will have a close genetic affinity? That is, of course, a good scientific approach. You have determined a specific test which could distinguish between what Milton is saying and what biologists would say. Could you elaborate on what it is that you are actually saying?

Spelling
Thylacine is the correct spelling.
