theory of evolution rests its claim that species
evolve on mutations that take place in their
genes. For this reason, if it is suggested that the
change in squirrels' behavior is based on 15%
percent genetic alteration, then it is essential to
show which genes this genetic change came
about in, and by means of which mutations.
However, researchers have not identified any
particular gene connected with time of birth.
Demonstrating that an early-born female squirrel
also gave birth to an early-born pup is not
enough to demonstrate that this came about by
mutation and that it is a change handed down
from generation to generation. In short, these
analyses do not demonstrate any "evolution,"
and merely prove that the people carrying out
the research are trying to come up with an evo-
lutionary result, even if only a forced and imagi-
nary one.
The researchers also ascribe an imaginary
propulsive force to this imaginary evolution. The
article describes the so-called propulsive force of
this so-called evolution in these terms:
The driving force for the squirrels' evolution is
that climate change has led to a steady increase
in the amount of food available in spring. So fe-
males that can give birth earlier than others are
more likely to have babies that survive. These
early-borns have a head start on their young
peers, making them bigger and more independ-
ent when autumn comes and it is time to store
food to survive the winter, says Stan Boutin, a
member of the team.
A constant increase in food quantities may
