Example text
Opponents of evolution use this seemingly endless quest for missing links to argue against evolution’s credibility and paleontology’s productivity. This misunderstanding is probably best termed “mything links” because there are, indeed, countless transitional forms on record from birds with teeth and bony tails (Archaeopteryx), to whales with little legs (Ambulocetus), to apes that walk upright (Australopithecus). The terms “missing link” and “transitional form” are highly misleading as well. They imply that the organism was not well adapted and that it was merely waiting or even striving to eventually evolve into a modern form.
Microscopic analysis showed that the teeth had been filed down to appear more ambiguous and human. The part of the jaw that articulates with the skull had been broken off to disguise that the two could not possibly fit together. Although a hoax like Piltdown Man could not happen in this day and age, the culprit of the Piltdown forgery is still unknown. Charles Dawson is probably the best guess since he was responsible for the various discoveries at Piltdown and he was also associated with incidences of artifact fraud at other sites.
For example, the sequence of ATAG binds to TATC in the other strand. Genes are segments of DNA, or pieces of the code, that are spelled out by these letters. Genes code for amino acids that build proteins. Proteins make up everything in the body, including structures, fluids, hormones, and even enzymes that catalyze, or enable, reactions to build other proteins. The chromosomal loci (sing. locus) of many genes are known and when one person has a different arrangement of nucleotides for that gene than another person they are said to have different alleles, or variants, of a gene.
