C., et al. “Comparing Neanderthal and Human Genomes.” Science 315, no. 5819 (3 March, 2007): 1664.“Charles Darwin was once asked if he thought that natural historians should collect data without the prejudice of a preformed hypothesis, or whether they should be observing nature with a particular theory in mind. In a stinging reply to friend, the economist Henry Fawcett, Darwin wrote that they may as well “go into a gravel-pit and count the pebbles and describe the colors.” Cite as: Natalie Kuldell.

For instance, the caterpillar and tadpole share genomes with the butterfly and the frog, but their very different proteomes create very different organisms.Images removed due to copyright restrictions.
