Hi Susan,
Yes, I see but that of course assumes that the relative is reduced rather
than representing an ancestral condition. Futher my point really is that
what if all the relatives were extinct. Would it not appear that there
were no reduced forms and therefore this novel hearing organ would appear
to have popped into existence!
