One of the most interesting aspects of evolution is how perfectly the theory which was developed largely on observation of external characteristics and comparative anatomy before anything was known about genetics, has been upheld and extended by modern genetic experimentation. The development of Mendelian inheritance theory provided an actual mechanism by which mutations could be transmitted. Modern genomics is producing detailed family trees. Science will soon determine in detail exactly how many genes are different (if any) between Neocon and a barbary ape and which is more closely related to their missing link.
One of the neatest things to be developed is our ability to determine the existence and probable genomes of millions of missing links (transitional species) between two existing species. Perhaps the greatest thing about genomics will be the ability to correct evolutionary mistakes. Homo sapiens sapiens evolved without a waterproof container for important papers, and maybe a place to keep a nice cold drink.
