What is occurring among scientists is a biased interpretation. Now I see that they are finding major inconsistencies and are not sure how to correlate the data and in some cases, simply do not understand what is going on. Research will continue but more and more, scientists are running into more complexity. There is a very large jigsaw puzzle in disarray. Part of the reason is that, assumption aside, ‘Junk DNA’ has effects that are still being discovered.

The “tree” metaphor evolves as we write. Or should I write “devolves” into the “Pie of Life”:

Thank you for this. I suspect the classification system is ignoring the fact that most of these things are alive today. Defined ‘building blocks’ were used in multiple ways, much as bricks can be used to build a house or a larger building, within limits.

Oh good grief…
It’s the exactly the same thing using a circular representation. Isn’t that obvious?

That answer tells me that you failed to answer the question asked. What part(s) of the list do you think evolution is missing?

I posed the question and am waiting for other answers before i give mine. So what is missing?

Again, I was asking: Could Mandrils 2.0 become more upright as an adaptation for the plains?
Let’s consolidate things.
We start with a monkey.
That monkey over time adapts to have a very short tail, bright face, bright butt, and is able to travel distances on the ground. (We already know you agree that’s possible.) We’ll call it the Mandril.
If less trees are around, might the Mandrils that survive be those with adaptations to allow easier travel over ground? Stronger back legs for instance that free the front arms for grasping things and moving obstacle aside.
If the environment becomes even less forested, might those Mandrils 2.0 be able to adapt to a more upright posture for easier locomotion on those stronger back legs?
Well, humans are smart enough to be able to wear other animals’ fur. The small advantage of being harrier gets a bit negated when your fellow humans also have the coats to keep them warm.
Though as a side note, the Inuit are adapted to their diet which helps them in the cold.

How does evolution know the concept of coats ?

Or he’s a troll. It’s so difficult to tell in these sort of discussions.

You’ve already been told. Nothing. So moving on…what do YOU think is missing?rossum:

In denial? I understand, knowing how important the “Tree” metaphor was to the claim that man evolved from bugs. But there you have it. No worries; in time you’ll recover.
What does the “Tree” metaphor look like when it’s buried? Flat, I would say.

I would like to add that we can adapt to conditions in space individually, some of which is passed on to our offspring. Getting beyond the simplistic neo-Darwinian vision of the way diversity comes about, we understand there to be much going on involving the totality of cellular processes, within a body interacting with its psychophysical environment environment. That’s just adaptation to stress, let alone what drives life to greater creativity and more life. And, this is all built on a created structure, shaped by an eternal Divine Mind.

Are you suggesting a kind of Lamarckism as the basis for adaptation?

That was rather abrupt and unlikely to be of help.
Common sense hasn’t kicked in, and I have not yet retired; I was in a rush to catch my train.
It’s rather lengthy, so I will not quote the part of the article that has most relevance to the question being asked. If anyone is interested, it is the paragraph on Chris Mason’s work on the genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptional dynamics of each twin.
