Pharyngula on the MFAP hypothesis
I mean... he's arguing because of backcrossing, we wouldn't see much genetic similarity between pigs and humans.
And yet we share so many traits. If those traits came from pigs,
how would they not be caused by shared genes?
Like, this is some homeopathy shit. You can dilute the pig DNA a million times, and yet that one time our ancestor fucked a pig will cause us to be extremely pig-like. Things like "stubby fingers" are apparently more likely to be because of breeding with pigs,
who have hooves and no hands at all, rather than the much more simple process of shortening the existing structure. Cuz you see, there's a lot of variation in the length of human fingers and toes. But the only way they could get so short relative to other apes is by fucking a pig.
Apparently all of his other ideas about evolution are
similarly stupid. Bats descend from pterodactyls (because they have wings, you see), armadillos are from ankylosaurs, pangolins are descended from stegosauruses.
