that the genetic
analyses and com-
parisons made by the
Darwinist biologists to illus-
trate the “evolutionary tree”
give quite the opposite result,
and that “the new data casts a
shadow over the evolutionary pic-
ture”:
A year ago, biologists looking over
newly sequenced genomes from more than a
dozen microorganisms thought these data might
support the accepted plot lines of life's early his-
tory. But what they saw confounded them.
Comparisons of the genomes then available not on-
ly didn't clarify the picture of how life's major group-
ings evolved, they confused it. And now, with an ad-
ditional eight microbial sequences in hand, the situation
has gotten even more confusing… Many evolutionary biolo-
gists had thought they could roughly see the beginnings of
life's three kingdoms… When full DNA sequences opened the
way to comparing other kinds of genes, researchers expected
that they would simply add detail to this tree. But “nothing
could be further from the truth,” says Claire Fraser, head of The
Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) in Rockville, Maryland.
Instead, the comparisons have yielded many versions of the
tree of life…
