the pigment of green can capture more energy those of the blue-violet spectrum that has the most photon energy. this energy is important in drinving photosynthesis II, which creates atp, the monetary unit for all living cells through chemiosmosis.

read more about it in a science book.

But....before people understood that process, there was a much different reason for it being green.

it doesn't matter that people didn't understand, it still happens. you're question was rhetorical, right?

In the greatest sense, yes.

For this entire topic, though, I believe Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan make the most logical and consice points. I will have to go find some of their books and get some qoutes.

I highly recomend reading The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark and Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors : A Search for Who We Are

Exactly, but natural selection is more like a refining system than a sudden change in most cases. To begin with, sometime social change incites change in the animal. If there was a shortage or change of food or territory, wolves (as one example) that worked together would have a better cahnce of survival thus becoming a social creature. The animals of North America tended to be large game animals and though wolves are scarey to us, they have a rough time bringing down a bison or caribou alone.

Next consider competition. Wolf packs are not like lion prides, though both sets of animals are social and hunt in coreographed plans. They became smart for social breeding and became better hunters. Lions however, do not have rank outside the male. Alpha wolf males and females eat at the same time.

How does that tie into what you said here? The wolf breeding methods have far more to do with their social way than sexual. Leadership causes the high level of testosterone. I watched a program where an omega female was chosen as alpha female of an older pack. She became highly aggressive afterwards. Her genetics had both sets of passive and aggressive behaviors obviously.

Thus, she was born like any other and for the males, their food intake and body have a lot to do with their eventual roles in the pack. They all start out the same so animals with lower to no sex drive or testosterone are born in the same litters, same shared dna as their siblings but their social lives dictate their chemistry. Once again, this is also very true in humans.


As for asexual and homosexual humans....I have read studies about male homosexuality in biology class that give great evidence that some males are born that way. The same with asexual people. I don't know any myself, so you would be better off to ask one yourself if they are born that way. There is evidence that a 10% population of humans are homosexual or bisexual and that most are males. This is thought to be for a number of genetic reasons related to population boundaries. However, no studies have yet shown homosexual women are born that way...

This alone shows that males were not all programmed to be fathers...at least that is what the over priced studies show.. :wink:

So in other words, one part of the community is waging war on another part of the community because they take their community seriously enough to want to do so. Then they tell the powerless side to get over the loss cause it's just an online community. I'm glad people make so much sense." -- Tab
