Mysterious Unknown Animals Photo Essay
A mysterious primate resembling a monkey was spotted in a Park UK.
But it is doubtful if it is a Monkey.
There are lots of instances where hitherto unknown animals have been found.
I do not know what Darwinian would say to this.
I have been already labelled as antiDarwin and an ignoramus in comments in Times of India , when people could not reply my queries.
Let me add further by posting a Photo Essay on the animals hitherto unknown.
Monkey(?) UK
This creature was found by Russian soldiers on Sakhalin shoreline. Sakhalin area is situated near to Japan, it’s the most eastern part of Russia, almost 5000 miles to East from Moscow (Russia is huge). People don’t know who is it. According to the bones and teeth – it is not a fish. According to its skeleton – it’s not a crocodile or alligator. It has a skin with hair or fur. It has been said that it was taken by Russian special services for in-depth studies, and we are lucky that people who encountered it first made those photos before it was brought away.

The 19-inch-long (50-centimeter-long) creature might be a tunicate, or sea squirt, say scientists who found it during a large-scale survey of Antarctic life in early 2008.

Evolution Goes Reverse. Study.Evolution Theory Suspect?
The Theory of Evolution propounded by Charles Darwin,I have been arguing through my posts is one of conjectures and not conclusively proven.
I have posted a couple of blogs on this,
One of the pillars of the Theory of Evolution is Dollo’s Law,
“ ”An organism is unable to return, even partially, to a previous stage already realized in the ranks of itsancestors.”[2] According to this hypothesis a structure or organ that has been lost or discarded through the process of evolution will not reappear in exactly the same form in that line of organisms.[3][4] According to Richard Dawkins, the law is “really just a statement about the statistical improbability of following exactly the same evolutionary trajectory twice (or, indeed, any particular trajectory), in either direction.”[5] Stephen Gould viewed the idea less strictly, suggesting that “irreversibility” forecloses certain evolutionary pathways once broad forms have emerged: “[For example], once you adopt the ordinary body plan of a reptile, hundreds of options are forever closed, and future possibilities must unfold within the limits of inherited design”
But a Field Study in the field disproves this.
Reverse Evolution.
“In evolutionary biology, the notion of irreversibility is known as Dollo’s Law after the Belgian paleontologist that first hypothesized it in 1893. He stated that once a lineage had lost or modified organs or structures, that they couldn’t turn back the clock and un-evolve those changes. Or, as he put it, “an organism is unable to return, even partially, to a previous stage already realized in the ranks of its ancestors.”
While some animals seem to challenge Dollo’s Law, it has long been a deeply held belief in the field of parasitology. Parasitism is, in general, a process of reduction. Adjusting to survival on or in another animal is a severe evolutionary undertaking, and many parasites lose entire organs or even body systems, becoming entirely dependent on their hosts to perform biological tasks like breaking down food or locomotion. Parasitology textbooks often talk about the irreversibility of becoming a parasite in very finite terms. “Parasites as a whole are worthy examples of the inexorable march of evolution into blind alleys” says Noble & Noble’s 1976 Parasitology: the Biology of Animal Parasites. Robert Poulin is even more direct: “Once they are dependent on the host there is no going back. In other words, early specialisation for a parasitic life commits a lineage forever.”
Now, parasites are proving that not only can they evade immune systems, trick other animals, and use their hosts’ bodies in hundreds of nefarious ways, some can go back to living on their own. This is exactly what scientists now believed happened in the Pyroglyphidae — the dust mites.
Mites, as a whole, are a frighteningly successful if often overlooked group of organisms. More than 48,000 species have been described. These minuscule relatives of spiders can be found worldwide in just about every habitat you can imagine. Many are free-living, but there are also a number of parasitic species, including all-too-familiar pests like Sarcoptes scabiei, the mite which causes scabies. Exactly how the different groups of mites are related to each other, however, has been a hot topic of debate amongst mite biologists. Though the closest relatives of dust mites are the Psoroptidia, a large and diverse parasitic group of mites, many have argued that dust mites came from free-living ancestors — ‘living fossils’ of a sort, the only surviving line of ancestral free-living mites that later gave rise to parasites. In fact, Pavel Klimov and Barry O’Connor from the University of Michigan were able to find 62 different hypothesis as to how the free-living the dust mites fit into the mite family tree. Sixty-two, the team decided, was simply too many. So, they turned to the mites’ genes.
To test which of the hypotheses had the most merit, Klimov and O’Conner conscripted a team of 64 biologists in 19 countries to obtain over 700 mite specimens, which they then used to construct a mite family tree. They sequenced five nuclear genes from each species, then applied statistical analyses to construct a tree of relationships called a phylogeny. And that’s when they saw it: deeply nested inside a large group of parasites were our everyday, non-parasitic, allergy-causing dust mites.”While this isn’t the first time that Dollo’s Law has been questioned, it’s the first strong evidence that parasitism might not be the evolutionary “blind alley” we tend to describe it as. The more scientists use genetics to study the evolutionary relationships between organisms, the more they find that Dollo’s Law is less law-like than once thought, broadening our understanding of evolution as a whole and challenging our assumptions about how it works. Which is, really, the brilliance and beauty of science — like life on this Earth, our understanding of the universe is constantly adapting and evolving.

Pourquoi nous faire l’amour? Commence études de parasite
Dе tous que le mètres de chose a n’a compris sexe est une chose qu’il a compris peu.
Gens gagnent pour lui, yetils ne savent pas pourquoi.
Rapport sans pareil est sorte d’un mettre en évidence ou même un choquer dans pourquoi nous faire l’amour.

Sexe est difficile а expliquer, écrire Michael Brothurst dans un Article recent dans la Science de Journal. Comme autres dans son domaine, Brothurst étudie l’évolution du sexual reproduction à l’université de Liverpool, ne comprend pas hommes.
Probablement explication est connue comme la hypothèse de rouge Queen appelle apres le souverain est par la looking glass dans Lewis Carroll. Dans cette nouvelle, Alice et la reine rouge gardent un race dans lequel ils fonctionnent in place mais jamais arrivent pas n’importe où. Quelque peu analogously, la hypothèse de rouge Queen oblige les organismes et les parasites vivent fonctionnent à eux, une race dans laquelle ils évoluent toujours est mutations, exerce une symétrie globale dans réception dе l’un l’autre.

Comme parasites évoluent pour capitaliser les impuissances d’un organisme de hôtedistinctif, Brothurst clarifie, organisme de hôte avec e-traductions de Rar de gènes connus comme alleles, sont susceptibles aux parasites, puis stand un meilleure chance d’un tirer à leur vieillesse reproducteure; aussi, leur progéniture Suis doté avec ces favorables Alleles. Comme une conséquence, over-genèse est ces organismes alleles rares deviennent plus mutuels dans la population, ainsi parasites commencent a évoluer pour les aborder.

Cette sélection continuelle pour curio favorise sexual reproduction sur un asexual reproduction;, recombination sexuel laisse hôtes remanier leur coterie d’alleles et engendrer combinaisons sans pareil, rares dans leur progéniture, Brothurst écrit.

Why We Have Sex? ‘To Grow Parasites’ Study
Of all the things MA has not understood Sex is one thing he has understood the least.
People earn for it ,yet they do not know why.
New Study on Why we have Sex is quite revealing or even shocking.
Read On.
“Sex is hard to explain,” writes Michael Brothurst in a recent article in the journal Science. Like others in his field, Brothurst, who studies the evolution of sexual reproduction at the University of Liverpool, doesn’t “get” men….
The most likely explanation is known as the Red Queen hypothesis, named after the monarch in Lewis Carroll‘s “Through the Looking Glass.” In that novella, Alice and the Red Queen hold a race in which they run in place but never get anywhere. Somewhat analogously, the Red Queen hypothesis holds that organisms and the parasites that live on them are running a race in which they constantly evolve in response to each other’s genetic mutations , maintaining an overall balance. [Read: Sex Stats: Virgins On the Rise ]
As parasites evolve to take advantage of the weaknesses of a typical host organism, Brothurst explains, host organisms with rare versions of genes, known as alleles, are less susceptible to the parasites, and so stand a better chance of surviving to their reproductive age; likewise, their offspring are endowed with these advantageous alleles. As a result, over generations these organisms’ rare alleles become more common in the population, so parasites start evolving to take them on. At that point new unusual alleles begin to flourish among the hosts.
Sex, the theory holds, gives host organisms a leg-up on this evolutionary treadmill. “This continual selection for rarity favors sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction; sexual recombination allows hosts to reshuffle their pack of alleles and generate new, rare combinations in their offspring,” Brothurst writes.
