Evolution in Action

An anonymous reader writes "A new species of plant came into existence about 30 years ago. It is a fertile hybrid which cannot breed with either of its parent species."

So...

...I assume this plant doesn't grow in Arkansas?

~~~(fscking 20" timer, cost me FP!)

let's hurry up and get it on the endangered species list, how much carbon monoxide does it take to kill this little bugger!

30 years

about 30 years ago

I know Slashdot is usually the last one to post news headlines, but this is getting ridiculous.

It is a fertile hybrid which cannot breed with either of its parent species.

This is not all that impressive.

I know a whole bunch of people that are in exactly that same category.

I believe that God created the universe that we live in. My current (nonscientific) theory on how he did this is through evolution and a "fast foward time", up until about 8,000 years ago when he made a man from scratch that just happened to be genetically compatbile with the super-apes that were walking around. Of course, God having created everything else 8,500 years ago is also a possibility, but unlikely given the extra effort needed.

How the heck could you know how much effort is involved? Is there a book "How To Create Worlds For Dummies" that I failed to notice last time I was at the bookstore?
