Darwin was wrong?

[LDB]

Was he barking up the wrong tree (of life)?

Even Darwin said the tree wasn't an accurate depiction, that it was probably more of a dense thicket than something as simple as a tree.

But this is how science works. Theories are tested, and whatever parts of the theory aren't affirmed gets altered to fit the facts, or they get discarded. Very few scientific theories nail it 100% from the get go.

The biggest revelation to me is the fact that more species cross breed than previously thought. This explains a lot.

True. Leeches crossbreed with gorillas, as proven by the president and First Lady.

But notice how they replace this theory.....with yet another supposed definition of origin of man.....theory.

Round and round the fruit loop.

I'm wondering whether for the OP the fact that Darwin was (perhaps partially) wrong is offset by that interbreeding of various different species thing ...
