Why does it always come down to you telling us to travel to africa and catch some critters?

If I go there the names will stay more consistant and not change? I doubt it they will change many times over, the animals will change many times over. They are forever in a state of change you know. So when they evolve in one area ahead of another, they will look different. Will they then have yet another name for the new one even though it is really the old one?

I am sure what they call a whitethroat, blackthroat, etc. in africa is very different. Then again I dont speak their language so it wouldn't matter what they said to me.

Again notice my subject line says About the Hobby/People, it does not say about the scientists or about foriegn countries and what they call them.

Please stay on track, keep it about the subject line if you can.
