But, I think I've only seen the first planet of the apes movie. I don't know if you are making a reference to my proclivity for sci-fi movies in general, or if there is something particular about planet of the apes. Within the context of the conversation I assume you are making connections between my comments about genetics and the idea of evolution as presented in planet of the apes. I don't believe in evolution as most people tend to understand it. I do believe concentrations of genes in a population change over time, and that selection of which genes get passed on is a function of environmental factors and suitability of the traits expressed by those genes in surviving the environmental factors. That's not the same thing as saying we all evolved from pond scum.</blockquote>
