I am a bit confused now, I take it you know how a lung could change though
a process of small step by step changes, into another type of lung, is that
right? If it is, could you give a hypothetical procedure of that change,
just a few examples of what each couple of steps might have been like? How
about the difference between a bird and a reptile. I confess that I don't
know much about this, so an explanation would be very helpful.
Thanks
