    Why snakes dont have legs......(Technical but interesting)
    Ever wonder why snakes dont develop legs :snake:......well a science called "evo-devo" (evolutionary developmental biology) has come up with some answers that deal with group of genes called Hox genes.

    From NCBI's Bookshelf an explanation.

    Why Snakes Dont have legs


    A nice figure here. The pic of the developing garter snake is worth a quick visit.

    Finally the following paper is available for free.

    I didnt hijack a thread. I posted where snakes lost there legs at. No need for the neg rep point. And look I made it public. You could have left your name and i could have simply told you why in a PM. But no.

    Why give him a negative rep. point because he believe's in the bible and posted his opinion? I clearly do not see where he hijacked your thread.

    stangs, i 100% agree with you. you didnt hijack any thread. if mendals has the right to express he believes evolution i have no idea why he thinks you can't express that you believe Creation. its very selfish of him, i think, and docking your rep points because of it is definitely not necessary.

    i also agree with you that it's in the Bible.:)
