Reddit reviews From Molecules to Networks: An Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience

Thanks for responding. The reason I put this question on the table is that I believe this is an example of a system that is not evolvable.

Occasionally some of my ideas aren't as strong as I thought, and then I decide not to suggest them as evidences of something not evolvable. So I test them out in places like this.

For the next 12 or so weeks, I will be studying cellular neuroscience and things like voltage-gated ion channels.

Thank you very much for taking time to attempt a substantive responses. The textbook I'm working from is:

1st day of class, not a single mention of evolution. 2nd day of class not a single mention of evolution.

>As such, I don't know how much we can really hope to obtain this late in the game. Anything existing between the two niches would likely have gone extinct long ago.

It is also possible the absence of intermediaties today indicates the intermediates never existed. This is a case of the problem of fitness peaks where selection will select AGAINST half formed systems. As I look at the specialization of nerve cells (compared say to a bone cell, or whatever cell), the sophistication just boggles the mind.

In humans, there are all sorts of specialized nerve cells that enable the 5 senses, the motor nerves, the thinking nerves. If a creationist wanted to have a career in biology, he could probably study the physiology of neurons since evolution is pretty much irrelevant in that field as far as I can tell. I put this question up just to see if anyone thought otherwise. Thanks again.
