> dhw: You have made it clear anyway that not even Tattersall goes as far as you. That doesn't mean you're wrong, of course, but I don't like to think of you getting lonely in your inapt exaltation of the exaptation as promising proof of preprogramming!-Exaptation may be a new anatomical part used or unused, per many authors. Further one cannot explain the drop in the larynx, the increasing arch of the palate, the change in tongue muscles, the larger uvula and soft palate adaptations by pointing to any known environmental challenge that would require such changes. They all look teleological in anticipation of speech. Especially in view of the choking danger invented by these changes! Do changes often produce dangerous issues or solve problems. Tell me what was solved early on?
