I'd also like to know who officially sunk them all into a single species. I don't think it was Noonan, for that matter I can't think of any genetic studies that included an "Egyptian" and a Ruffie. If anyone has access to vouchered Egyptians and Ruffies I'd do the genetic work in my lab

“There is a grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that whilst this planet has gone on cycling according to the fixed laws of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.” -C. Darwin, 1859
