I am sorry to see that Troy has failed to respond to any of my points in the lengthy rebuttal to his claim that Linda Maxson has now been using mtDNA data, and which ostensibly means that immunological data should be ignored.

Sorry, Troy, immunological data is scientific data. It is not a good idea to ignore scientific data, unless you are a dogmatic person. Are you a dogmatic person?

As for Troy's claim that the Chihuahuan Desert is not a desert, he has backed down from that ridiculous claim and now calls West Texas part of the Chihuahuan Desert "biotic province." A desert biotic province is a region where the biota (plants and animals) is adapted to desert conditions. That means the plants and animals living in West Texas are desert plants and desert animals. Desert plants and desert animals live in deserts. Apparently Troy has proven these desert plants and desert animals "wrong" because they have no rights to live in a place where they are not supposed to, since Trans Pecos Texas is not a desert. The next logical step perhaps is for these plants and animals to admit that they are wrong, and to move out of West Texas. Troy has a lot of persuasion in front of him, because there does not seem to be a mass exodus of desert plants and desert animals from West Texas. They are not listening to Troy. They continue to live in West Texas as though it were a desert.
