Quercus. Both deciduous and evergreen members. And species frequently can interbreed. What is your definition of species? Inability to interbreed is not the criterion.

If we went back 100,000 years we would not recognize our ancestors as being the same as us.

Unless you can demonstrate something it never is more than "theory" that does not make it right or wrong. It is just something that can't be pulled out of a hat to satisfy the insatiable.

Satisfying the insatiable is a hard hard job.

Fish discovered with human face
From correspondents in London
January 14, 2005

IF you found this fish staring up at you from a pond, you might do a double take.

Evil eye ... this carp seemingly has a human face / AFP

For the carp's face displays some extraordinarily human features.

Sinister eyes seem to peer out from the head and a broad nose tapers down to the mouth. But, in fact, the nose is just a marking on the carp's skin as are the "eyes" in front of its real eyes.

The features belong to two 19-year-old female carp in a pond in Chongju, Korea. And the patterns could make the pair very valuable.

Rare markings or colourings on fish are considered a good omen in many Asian countries, Professor Brendan McAndrew, of the Institute of Aquaculture at Stirling University, said.

"Those in the carp industry will go through millions of young fish for good patterns and only find a few."
