i think your getting terms a little confused.
every species is a transitional form but what your talking about sounds more like an intermediate form.
eg.
Tiktaalik = Fish to land tetrapod transitional
Archeopteryx + Microrapter = Dinosaur to bird transition
Ambulocetus = Land mammal to water mammal
Ah, that makes sense. Thank-you.
Transitional forms do not come about by two disparate species trying to mate...say a crocodile and a duck...
Transition forms come about as changes (mutations) happen and begin to add up over time in successive generations to the point that portions of one population can not mate and reproduce with another.
At that point they are considered separate species - Speciation has occurred...
What the hell are you talking about? I never claimed that evolution worked by hybridization.
MicroHive didn't say that either. He just said that transitional forms have gotten sets of chromosomes from each of their parents. He never even implied that, say, ducks and crocodiles mate to create transitional forms.
If you actually read his comments, he gives a rather eloquent explanation for micro evolution to macro evolution, and explaining the scientific term 'transitional form'.
This statement didn't come from either you Noodles nor MicroHIve?
I said that, but you misunderstood it. I wasn't saying that transitional species are created through different species interbreeding.
I was saying that I thought a transitional form was a species that carried characteristics of the past species it evolved from, and the future species it would yet evolve into.
Ah...okay, I get you. Thanks for correcting me.
