It is late, so my tackling that last post will have to last until tommorrow.
But I will throw these out now:
There are examples of hybrids between plants and animals. I believe certain kinds of plankton are photosynthetic animals.
We did not evolve from primates, but rather, we, apes, and primates evolved from some distant common ancestor.
As far as 'gaps' between species in the fossil record are concerned, for all intents and purposes, there are no hybrids between species. Either something is ones species or it is another. You can't have something in between. Besides, adaptive radiation can occur almost instantaneously, geologically speaking.
Was the person who wrote this article a Raelian (sp?) I think this might have been written by one of those guys who thinks aliens made everything. Who knows.
I will try to back up what I have just said tommorrow, as well as do my best to pick apart that last post by Loki if someone doesn't beat me to it (no offense Loki).
