Still, there seem to be some cases in which interbereding getween genera
has been documented. Does this mena with fertile offspring? I presume it
does. If that is the case, then this would seem to violate the biolgical
species concept. Is anyone considering reclassification in the cases where
it has happened? Or if it's only documented in a few isolated cases, is
someone trying to determine what is/was going on?>
In his testimony before the Arkansas trial that ashcanned Arkansas'
balanced treatment law, Wayne Frair, a creationist who studies turtles,
said he believed that "kinds" might be orders in some cases. I presume he
had interbreeding in mind too. I have no idea whether he had any specific
cases to trot out, but it might be worthwhile to check his pubs.
