Oceanic ;6888732 said:Which was correct? Paradoxically, both--but only if the main
premise underpinning Darwin's tree was incorrect. Darwin assumed
that descent was exclusively "vertical", with organisms passing
traits down to their offspring. But what if species also routinely
swapped genetic material with other species, or hybridised with
them? Then that neat branching pattern would quickly degenerate into
an impenetrable thicket of interrelatedness, with species being
closely related in some respects but not others.
We now know that this is exactly what happens.

Oceanic ;6889096 said:The article says clearly that it does happen vertically, but not exclusively. That is why the tree is no longer accurate and the web is a better representation. Still, common descent is implied.

Dollo's Law, (stating 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,”) has been debunked, yet evolutionists continue to support the theory..........

Shit, you didn't even know that there was a full article posted...........

"All life evolved from one organism"........
Yet, only some organisms can be validated using a tree diagram, but for the ones who cannot we will just say horizontal or web-like and call it a day.......
GTFOH...........
BAMBU WINS!!!!
FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!!

Yeah except the difference is that we're looking at a larger scale pattern.
As previously stated, vertical gene transfer is not argued to not exist. On the contrary, it does.. HOWEVER, horizontal gene transfer also occurs, which makes the web a better representation of the history if evolution of species rather than the tree.
