Parvusvox''s Interview with Rex Sefton -- Independent Wildlife and Fisheries Biologist
What do you think about the top five explanations by Karl Semper?
1. On Frogs?
RS I
thought his rigorous experiments were exemplary.
2. On Color Changes in animals?
RS I thought he was too submissive to
dogmatic Agassiz.
3. On Coral Reefs and where they start, or finish?
RS I thought he did not take a close enough look and he did not seem to take into account the ocean currents or what coral can handle in such flowages.
4. On cave grasshoppers with eyes ?
RS I thought he was too submissive to dogmatic Darwinists. Later in Darwin’ Career the famed Origin of the Species Author backed way off the thunder of his initial stance on Natural Selection and more narrowly defined species adaptability to a narrower range of change. I think
KS was good student of Darwin but while KS sight in day and night
creatures he let dogmatic followers of Darwin mininmize the efforts he made to study cave dwelling blind catfish and how they might have got in that morphed condition. This raises some interesting concepts. The dogmatists were sort of proposing degeneration of the creature in this matter. It begs the question what would happen to the quality of the creature’s genes after such degeneration. Knowing what do about
aspirations of mountain climbers and Jet Fighter Pilots, of which I’m one, is it the positive or the negative aspirations that can change the status of any creatures’ alleles?
5. On Dogmatic German Scientists
RS I thought he was right on the mark.
