I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered,
by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their
structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a
creature was produced as monstrous as a whale. 178
The reason why Darwin was so confident in his exam-
ples lay in the primitive level of scientific understanding in
his day. As the result of similar experiments on living things,
however, 20 century science revealed the principle known
th
as genetic homeostasis . This principle revealed that all at-
179
tempts at crossbreeding were insufficient to change a living
species and that between species, there were insuperable
genetic barriers. In other words, the livestock breeders who
mated different variations of cattle could not have produced
another new species, as Darwin claimed. This was ab-
solutely impossible.
Norman Macbeth, author of the book Darwin Retried,
has this to say:
The heart of the problem is whether living things do indeed
vary to an unlimited extent... The species look stable. We
have all heard of disappointed breeders who carried their
work to a certain point only to see the animals or plants re-
Variations can never give species totally new characteristics. For
that reason, no variation is an example of evolution. No matter
how often you cross-breed different breeds of horse, the results
will still be horses, and no new species will emerge.
