ok im a realy bad speller so......yea ATAVISM- are limbs or even some time DNA that is lost during evolution. this limbs sometime actualy come back to the speacies. examples are Humans with tail, whales that form hind legs and even the evil devil Snakes with legs  . Some ppl actualy try to discredit human tails by saying that it is just a larg fatty diposite when in reality it is musil and bone that can be minipulated. So lets see if you can discredit them some other way |

Actually, chadwin, I think that the tail that sometimes appears on human individuals is actually the tailbone that got flipped outward, but isn't flexible or prehensile.
But the rest of your examples, if I'm not mistaken, do occur sometimes in nature. Just thought I should varify the tail bit, I think the other examples you used are credible.

chadwin, I'm not sure where you're going with this. What is the point of discrediting human tails?

Perhaps he wishes to point out that since this happens, more evidence can be concluded to support evolution, and he is opening it up for anybody to discredit them (in effect, arguing against evolution).

This is precisely my take on chadwin's question. Knowing him from another program, I know that he is an adamant supporter of Evolution, so I agree that he is inviting those who would say that evolution is myth to comment. |

I believe griffey is right abou that. I really have nothing else to say on the matter because i don't know what is being argued exactly. |
