Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting the unsurprising news from Tel Aviv
Micro-evolution within a species is reasonable. Punctuated equilibrium or Darwinian evolution is ludicrous on its face.

"Researchers at Tel Aviv University developed a project analyzing the brains of about 130 diverse species of mammals using advanced diffusion MRI scans. The brains had been removed from dead animals, ranging from tiny bats to large dolphins. This study produced a novel database spanning a large spectrum of mammals, 100 of which had not previously undergone brain scans. Additionally, the researchers included the brain scans of 32 humans. The scientists were able to recreate the brain’s neural network—neurons and their nerve fibers (axons) along with the junctions (synapses) that work together to transmit bioelectrical signals—through identifying the brain’s white matter via specialized technology.2
Professor Yaniv Assaf, one of the study authors, was quoted by ScienceDaily:
We discovered that brain connectivity -- namely the efficiency of information transfer through the neural network -- does not depend on either the size or structure of any specific brain….In other words, the brains of all mammals, from tiny mice through humans to large bulls and dolphins, exhibit equal connectivity, and information travels with the same efficiency within them.2
With regard to how this discovery upends evolutionary predictions, Assaf confirmed that, in an effort to explain a more advanced “human animal,” many in the scientific community have argued that a human’s brain connectivity far surpasses that of other mammals.2 This theory is directly contradicted by the study results. In other words, the alleged prediction of evolution that things should progress from simple to complex across a continuum among mammals was utterly debunked."
