Is Darwin wrong on how we pass our DNA from one generation to the next?
- gus_massa 8y agoThis is an interesting article about horizontal gene transfer, but the title is horrible, very horrible. I propose to change the title to the title of the book "The Tangled Tree". The evolutionary tree is like 99% correct for animals. Bacterias and Arqueas are more messy. Plants are weird, really weird, with lot's of viable hybrids and even more strange things. If it were a general article about how misleading the evolutionary tree is, it should include plants, but it's an article about horizontal gene transfer. (Also DNA was discovered much latter, something like a hundred years after the death of Darwin, but this may be an excess of nitpicking by me.)
