Henry,
That's not the kind of adaptation I was referring to. I'm talking there about the genes in the bacteria changing and passing on a resistance to a poison that almost killed its ancestors. Didn't that organism then evolve? It's not the same as it was before, right? If you were to splice some of the genes from that bacteria into another cell of a previous generation which did not have that in its make up, the new cells will then have it. Proof positive that evolution does occur. This is what's so damn scary about recombinant DNA work. Sometimes surprises occur, like the recent mouse pox work. A super powerful virus was created unintentionally. Or at least that's how they said it was done, by accident.
