You're right, Duncan.  And Darwin's theory was an extremely oversimplified 
explanation, in view of the genetic knowledge we have today about 
relationships of species.  It's about parallel with man first putting a wheel 
on an axle, compared to our now being able to dispense with wheels altogether 
and send rockets to the moon.  And we've only scratched the surface of this 
field, I'm sure.
