Yet that inference actually conceals a
grave deception.
There are two significant points to
be made:
1. Variations A and B, which have
been isolated from one another, may be
unable to reproduce when reunited
again. But this generally stems from
mating behavior. In other words, indi-
viduals belonging to variation A are re-
garded as foreign by variation B, and D Duane T. Gish’s books criticizing g
