In phylogenetics, a basalclade is the earliest clade to branch in a larger clade; it appears at the base of a cladogram.
A basal group forms an outgroup to the rest of the clade, such as in the following example:
The word "basal" is preferred to the term "primitive", which may carry false connotations of inferiority or a lack of complexity.
The term basal can only be correctly applied to clades of organisms, not to individual traits possessed by the organisms—although it can be misused in this manner in technical literature. While the term "basal" applies to clades, characters or traits are usually considered derived if they are absent in a basal group, but present in other groups. This assumption only holds true if the basal group is a good analogy for the last common ancestor of the group.
In animal family Hominidae, the gorillas are an outgroup to chimpanzees, bonobos and humans. These four species form a clade, the subfamily Homininae, of which gorillas are the basal member.
Charles Darwin was the first to formulate a scientific argument for the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. Evolution by natural selection is a process that is inferred from three facts about populations: 1) more offspring are produced than can possibly survive, 2) traits vary among individuals, leading to differential rates of survival and reproduction, and 3) trait differences are heritable. Thus, when members of a population die they are replaced by the progeny of parents that were better adapted to survive and reproduce in the environment in which natural selection took place. This process creates and preserves traits that are seemingly fitted for the functional roles they perform. Natural selection is the only known cause of adaptation, but not the only known cause of evolution. Other, nonadaptive causes of evolution include mutation and genetic drift.

Are evolutionists right when they say that the brain has evolved in countless steps from reptiles to the human brain? Find out on today’s Creation Moments Minute.
According to evolutionary theory, one of the oldest and most primitive parts of the human brain is the part deep inside. The basal ganglia supposedly comes from our reptilian past. Of course, the evolutionary view that the basal ganglia is primitive was never scientifically researched. When researchers finally examined the workings of the basal ganglia, they concluded that the deep structures of the brain that are supposed to be primitive ar

Sliding at the base of glaciers is strongly correlated with subglacial water pressure on seasonal and shorter timescales, and is acknowledged to be one of the main controls on glacial erosion. For glaciers in a warming climate, increasing rates of surface meltwater production and delivery to the bed will drive changes in the subglacial hydraulic system and its properties. It has been suggested that glacial erosion rates are higher during phases of glacier retreat than advance, possibly because of the amplified melt-water production during warmer periods.

Prehistoric Origins of Birds [BEYOND DINOSAURS 2015]
The origin of birds refers to the initial stages in the evolution of birds. The scientific consensus is that birds are a group of theropod dinosaurs that evolved during the Mesozoic Era.
A close relationship between birds and dinosaurs was first proposed in the nineteenth century after the discovery of the primitive bird Archaeopteryx in Germany. Birds share many unique skeletal features with dinosaurs. Moreover, fossils of more than twenty species of dinosaur have been collected with preserved feathers. There are even very small dinosaurs, such as Microraptor and Anchiornis, which have long, vaned, arm and leg feathers forming wings. The Ju

According to evolutionary theory, one of the oldest and most primitive parts of the human brain is the part deep inside. The basal ganglia supposedly comes from our reptilian past. Of course, the evolutionary view that the basal ganglia is primitive was never scientifically researched. When researchers finally examined the workings of the basal ganglia, they concluded that the deep structures of the brain that are supposed to be primitive are actually just as complex as the cerebral cortex. In other words, there is absolutely no evidence of their being primitive.
Once again, scientific research has not found what evolutionists expected. The human brain has not developed by adding parts to reptile brains. It was specially created just for human beings.

Sliding at the base of glaciers is strongly correlated with subglacial water pressure on seasonal and shorter timescales, and is acknowledged to be one of the main controls on glacial erosion. For glaciers in a warming climate, increasing rates of surface meltwater production and delivery to the bed will drive changes in the subglacial hydraulic system and its properties. It has been suggested that glacial erosion rates are higher during phases of glacier retreat than advance, possibly because of the amplified melt-water production during warmer periods. Numerical studies of long-term glacier change, such as glacier reconstruction or landscape evolution, often neglect or largely simplify their formulation of subglacial hydrology out of computational necessity.
This study seeks to answer two questions: (1) How do sub-seasonal variations in basal hydrology affect the spatio-temporal patterns of sliding and erosion? (2) How might these patterns differ for advancing and retreating glaciers? We employ a two-dimensional higher-order flow-band model of ice dynamics, coupled via a Coulomb friction law to a model of subglacial hydrology that integrates distributed ("slow") and channelized ("fast") drainage. To characterize the system sensitivity to sub-seasonal forcing, we drive the model with diurnal to monthly fluctuations in melt-water input. To investigate the differences between advance and retreat cycles, we vary the spatial distribution of the water input and the glacier geometry. With these forcings we further investigate the influence of ice thickness and of the relative efficiency of distributed and channelized drainage systems. The resulting spatio-temporal patterns of basal slip and erosion are calculated by integrating their instantaneous rates over the duration of the simulations. These patterns are then compared with those obtained with the formulations of hydrology and sliding more commonly used for long-term glacier modelling. This study is a first step in assessing what degree of model complexity is warranted for simulation of sliding and erosion over long time scales.

Dots: Species

Color/height: Predation strategy (green/bottom = pure autotrophs, orange/top = pure grazers, in between = a little bit of both)
I ran a model of ecological and evolutionary dynamics in which species are competing for a basal inorganic ressource and grazing each other (depending on their size, big lads eating small lads).
I started the system with only one one small species of autotrophs (i.e. using only inorganic ressources and light as energy source) and ended up with a complex trophic system diverse both in size and predation strategy.
The only thing left to do is to leave the computer and to look the Nature to see if the actual trophic network look in any way like this one !

A close relationship between birds and dinosaurs was first proposed in the nineteenth century after the discovery of the primitive bird Archaeopteryx in Germany. Birds share many unique skeletal features with dinosaurs. Moreover, fossils of more than twenty species of dinosaur have been collected with preserved feathers. There are even very small dinosaurs, such as Microraptor and Anchiornis, which have long, vaned, arm and leg feathers forming wings. The Jurassic basal avialan Pedopenna also shows these long foot feathers. Witmer (2009) has concluded that this evidence is sufficient to demonstrate that avian evolution went through a four-winged stage.
Fossil evidence also demonstrates that birds and dinosaurs shared features such as hollow, pneumatized bones, gastroliths in the digestive system, nest-building and brooding behaviors. The ground-breaking discovery of fossilized Tyrannosaurus rex soft tissue allowed a molecular comparison of cellular anatomy and protein sequencing of collagen tissue, both of which demonstrated that T. rex and birds are more closely related to each other than either is to Alligator. A second molecular study robustly supported the relationship of birds to dinosaurs, though it did not place birds within Theropoda, as expected. This study utilized eight additional collagen sequences extracted from a femur of Brachylophosaurus canadensis, a hadrosaur. A study comparing juvenile and adult archosaur skulls concluded that birds derived from dinosaurs by neoteny.
The origin of birds has historically been a contentious topic within evolutionary biology. However, only a few scientists still debate the dinosaurian origin of birds, suggesting descent from other types of archosaurian reptiles. Among the consensus that supports dinosaurian ancestry, the exact sequence of evolutionary events that gave rise to the early birds within maniraptoran theropods is hotly disputed. The origin of bird flight is a separate but related question for which there are also several proposed answers.

“Little baraminological research has been conducted on fossil groups, and even less research has considered dinosaurs. In this study, I analyzed a theropod dinosaur group, Tyrannosauroidea, through the use of statistical baraminology. Four cladistic datasets were reanalyzed through baraminic distance correlation (BDC) and multidimensional scaling (MDS). Because many of the supposed intermediary forms are poorly known, they were excluded from the four analyses. In order to further test the ba

The possibility that dinosaurs were the ancestors of birds was first suggested in 1868 by Thomas Henry Huxley. After the work of Gerhard Heilmann in the early 20th century, the theory of birds as dinosaur descendants was abandoned in favor of the idea of their being descendants of generalized thecodonts, with the key piece of evidence being the supposed lack of clavicles in dinosaurs. However, as later discoveries showed, clavicles (or a single fused wishbone, which derived from separate clavicles) were not actually absent; they had been found as early as 1924 in Oviraptor, but misidentified as an interclavicle. In the 1970s, John Ostrom revived the dinosaur–bird theory, which gained momentum in the coming decades with the advent of cladistic analysis, and a great increase in the discovery of small theropods and early birds. Of particular note have been the fossils of the Yixian Formation, where a variety of theropods and early birds have been found, often with feathers of some type. Birds share over a hundred distinct anatomical features with theropod dinosaurs, which are now generally accepted to have been their closest ancient relatives. They are most closely allied with maniraptoran coelurosaurs. A minority of scientists, most notably Alan Feduccia and Larry Martin, have proposed other evolutionary paths, including revised versions of Heilmann's basal archosaur proposal, or that maniraptoran theropods are the ancestors of birds but themselves are not dinosaurs, only convergent with dinosaurs.
Feathers are one of the most recognizable characteristics of modern birds, and a trait that was shared by all other dinosaur groups. Based on the current distribution of fossil evidence, it appears that feathers were an ancestral dinosaurian trait, though one that may have been selectively lost in some species. Direct fossil evidence of feathers or feather-like structures has been discovered in a diverse array of species in many non-avian dinosaur groups, both among saurischians and ornithischians. Simple, branched, feather-like structures are known from heterodontosaurids, primitive neornithischians and theropods, and primitive ceratopsians. Evidence for true, vaned feathers similar to the flight feathers of modern birds has been found only in the theropod subgroup Maniraptora, which includes oviraptorosaurs, troodontids, dromaeosaurids, and birds. Feather-like structures known as pycnofibres have also been found in pterosaurs, suggesting the possibility that feather-like filaments may have been common in the bird lineage and evolved before the appearance of dinosaurs themselves.

The Answers In Genesis website has a lengthy article written by M. Aaron on November 26, 2014. Only a small part of the research article is quoted below:
“Little baraminological research has been conducted on fossil groups, and even less research has considered dinosaurs. In this study, I analyzed a theropod dinosaur group, Tyrannosauroidea, through the use of statistical baraminology. Four cladistic datasets were reanalyzed through baraminic distance correlation (BDC) and multidimensional scaling (MDS). Because many of the supposed intermediary forms are poorly known, they were excluded from the four analyses. In order to further test the baraminic status of Tyrannosauroidea, I performed another analysis of one of the datasets, encompassing more taxa, but with very few characters. Lastly, a subset of the Xu et al. (2012) dataset was analyzed in order to better understand the relationships among the “basal” tyrannosauroids.
“As a result of these analyses, I arrived at four conclusions. Firstly, there is strong positive BDC correlation and close MDS grouping within the family Tyrannosauridae. Secondly, there is a strong negative BDC correlation and visually distinct gap in the MDS between Tyrannosauridae and the more distant members of the superfamily Tyrannosauroidea and between Tyrannosauridae and non-tyrannosauroid theropod outgroup. Thirdly, there is fairly strong evidence of positive BDC correlation and MDS clustering between Tyrannosauridae, five close members of Tyrannosauroidea (Bistahieversor, Appalachiosaurus, Dryptosaurus, Raptorex, Xiongguanlong), and possibly with the more distant tyrannosauroid Eotyrannus.
“Fourthly, there is negative BDC correlation and a distinct visual MDS gap between the Tyrannosauridae with some close tyrannosauroids and the more distant tyrannosauroids and outgroup taxa. Based on these results, I determine that Tyrannosauridae is monobaraminic and, along with Bistahieversor,Appalachiosaurus, Dryptosaurus, Raptorex, Xiongguanlong, and possibly Eotyrannus, is holobaraminic with respect to other members of Tyrannosauroidea and all other dinosaurs. The position of Eotyrannus in the biological trajectory of this holobaramin suggests that tyrannosaurs may have originally had smaller skulls and longer arms in proportion to their bodies and three-fingered hands. Because many of the “basal” tyrannosauroids are poorly known, further discoveries of more complete specimens may place them within this holobaramin, or they may provide a link between Tyrannosauridae and other theropods.
“This article marks the first dinosaur holobaramin defined via statistical baraminology, and the results of this study suggest that the taxa Dinosauria, Saurischia, and Theropoda are polybaraminic.
“In order to determine the various original created kinds, creationists have begun to expand baraminological research to organisms only known through fossils. Previous studies have included fossil equids (Cavanaugh, Wood, and Wise 2003), archaeocetes (Mace and Wood 2005), hominids (Wood 2010), caseids (Aaron 2014), and Jurassic and Cretaceous Avialae (Garner, Wood, and Ross 2013). The criteria that have been used to determine the baraminic status of a fossil organism include morphology and stratigraphy (Cavanaugh, Wood, and Wise 2003).
“Conclusion
“After reviewing the BDC and MDS results from all five analyses, as well as relevant stratigraphic and paleobiogeographic data, I make the following conclusions: 1) Tyrannosauridae is a monobaramin; 2) Tyrannosauridae + Bistahieversor + Appalachiosaurus + Dryptosaurus + Raptorex + Xiongguanlong + Eotyrannus is holobaraminic with respect to more distant members of Tyrannosauroidea and all other dinosaurs; 3) The members of this new holobaramin form a trajectory in character space which may suggest a pattern for diversification in the pre-Flood world; 4) Tyrannosaurs may have originally had smaller skulls and larger arms in proportion to their bodies as well as three-fingered hands; 5) Dinosauria, Saurischia, and Theropoda are polybaraminic.
“It is possible that with further fossil discoveries, Eotyrannus may be found not to belong to this holobaramin, or intermediates may be found linking the more distant tyrannosauroids to the Tyrannosauridae. Thus, caution must be used with the results and implications of this analysis, as it should with all baraminological studies of fossil taxa. It is the hope of the author that this initial study of a dinosaur family through the use of statistical baraminology will be followed by similar analyses of other dinosaur taxa.”
We applaud Dr. Aaron’s research. But, not a single evidence of evolution exists among the hundreds of types of dinosaurs. All dinosaurs were sophisticated and highly specialized for survival. Let us give all glory to God who made those wonderful dinosaurs for us all to enjoy and to amaze.

Brain Disappoints Evolutionary Thoughts
Are evolutionists right when they say that the brain has evolved in countless steps from reptiles to the human brain? Find out on today’s Creation Moments Minute.
According to evolutionary theory, one of the oldest and most primitive parts of the human brain is the part deep inside. The basal ganglia supposedly comes from our reptilian past. Of course, the evolutionary view that the basal ganglia is primitive was never scientifically researched. When researchers finally examined the workings of the basal ganglia, they concluded that the deep structures of the brain that are supposed to be primitive are actually just as complex as the cerebral cortex. In other words, there is absolutely no evidence of their being primitive.
Once again, scientific research has not found what evolutionists expected. The human brain has not developed by adding parts to reptile brains. It was specially created just for human beings.

Sliding at the base of glaciers is strongly correlated with subglacial water pressure on seasonal and shorter timescales, and is acknowledged to be one of the main controls on glacial erosion. For glaciers in a warming climate, increasing rates of surface meltwater production and delivery to the bed will drive changes in the subglacial hydraulic system and its properties. It has been suggested that glacial erosion rates are higher during phases of glacier retreat than advance, possibly because of the amplified melt-water production during warmer periods. Numerical studies of long-term glacier change, such as glacier reconstruction or landscape evolution, often neglect or largely simplify their formulation of subglacial hydrology out of computational necessity.
This study seeks to answer two questions: (1) How do sub-seasonal variations in basal hydrology affect the spatio-temporal patterns of sliding and erosion? (2) How might these patterns differ for advancing and retreating glaciers? We employ a two-dimensional higher-order flow-band model of ice dynamics, coupled via a Coulomb friction law to a model of subglacial hydrology that integrates distributed ("slow") and channelized ("fast") drainage. To characterize the system sensitivity to sub-seasonal forcing, we drive the model with diurnal to monthly fluctuations in melt-water input. To investigate the differences between advance and retreat cycles, we vary the spatial distribution of the water input and the glacier geometry. With these forcings we further investigate the influence of ice thickness and of the relative efficiency of distributed and channelized drainage systems. The resulting spatio-temporal patterns of basal slip and erosion are calculated by integrating their instantaneous rates over the duration of the simulations. These patterns are then compared with those obtained with the formulations of hydrology and sliding more commonly used for long-term glacier modelling. This study is a first step in assessing what degree of model complexity is warranted for simulation of sliding and erosion over long time scales.

Color/height: Predation strategy (green/bottom = pure autotrophs, orange/top = pure grazers, in between = a little bit of both)
I ran a model of ecological and evolutionary dynamics in which species are competing for a basal inorganic ressource and grazing each other (depending on their size, big lads eating small lads).
I started the system with only one one small species of autotrophs (i.e. using only inorganic ressources and light as energy source) and ended up with a complex trophic system diverse both in size and predation strategy.
The only thing left to do is to leave the computer and to look the Nature to see if the actual trophic network look in any way like this one !

Dinosaurs Are Not Extinct [BEYOND DINOSAURS 2015]
Dinosaurs Are Not Extinct [BEYOND DINOSAURS 2015]
The possibility that dinosaurs were the ancestors of birds was first suggested in 1868 by Thomas Henry Huxley. After the work of Gerhard Heilmann in the early 20th century, the theory of birds as dinosaur descendants was abandoned in favor of the idea of their being descendants of generalized thecodonts, with the key piece of evidence being the supposed lack of clavicles in dinosaurs. However, as later discoveries showed, clavicles (or a single fused wishbone, which derived from separate clavicles) were not actually absent; they had been found as early as 1924 in Oviraptor, but misidentified as an interclavicle. In the 1970s, John Ostrom revived the dinosaur–bird theory, which gained momentum in the coming decades with the advent of cladistic analysis, and a great increase in the discovery of small theropods and early birds. Of particular note have been the fossils of the Yixian Formation, where a variety of theropods and early birds have been found, often with feathers of some type. Birds share over a hundred distinct anatomical features with theropod dinosaurs, which are now generally accepted to have been their closest ancient relatives. They are most closely allied with maniraptoran coelurosaurs. A minority of scientists, most notably Alan Feduccia and Larry Martin, have proposed other evolutionary paths, including revised versions of Heilmann's basal archosaur proposal, or that maniraptoran theropods are the ancestors of birds but themselves are not dinosaurs, only convergent with dinosaurs.
Feathers are one of the most recognizable characteristics of modern birds, and a trait that was shared by all other dinosaur groups. Based on the current distribution of fossil evidence, it appears that feathers were an ancestral dinosaurian trait, though one that may have been selectively lost in some species. Direct fossil evidence of feathers or feather-like structures has been discovered in a diverse array of species in many non-avian dinosaur groups, both among saurischians and ornithischians. Simple, branched, feather-like structures are known from heterodontosaurids, primitive neornithischians and theropods, and primitive ceratopsians. Evidence for true, vaned feathers similar to the flight feathers of modern birds has been found only in the theropod subgroup Maniraptora, which includes oviraptorosaurs, troodontids, dromaeosaurids, and birds. Feather-like structures known as pycnofibres have also been found in pterosaurs, suggesting the possibility that feather-like filaments may have been common in the bird lineage and evolved before the appearance of dinosaurs themselves.

Pastor Chui: A Statistical Baraminological Analysis of Tyrannosauriodia Yielding the First Dino Hol
Pastor Chui: A Statistical Baraminological Analysis of Tyrannosauriodia Yielding the First Dino Hol
The Answers In Genesis website has a lengthy article written by M. Aaron on November 26, 2014. Only a small part of the research article is quoted below:
“Little baraminological research has been conducted on fossil groups, and even less research has considered dinosaurs. In this study, I analyzed a theropod dinosaur group, Tyrannosauroidea, through the use of statistical baraminology. Four cladistic datasets were reanalyzed through baraminic distance correlation (BDC) and multidimensional scaling (MDS). Because many of the supposed intermediary forms are poorly known, they were excluded from the four analyses. In order to further test the baraminic status of Tyrannosauroidea, I performed another analysis of one of the datasets, encompassing more taxa, but with very few characters. Lastly, a subset of the Xu et al. (2012) dataset was analyzed in order to better understand the relationships among the “basal” tyrannosauroids.
“As a result of these analyses, I arrived at four conclusions. Firstly, there is strong positive BDC correlation and close MDS grouping within the family Tyrannosauridae. Secondly, there is a strong negative BDC correlation and visually distinct gap in the MDS between Tyrannosauridae and the more distant members of the superfamily Tyrannosauroidea and between Tyrannosauridae and non-tyrannosauroid theropod outgroup. Thirdly, there is fairly strong evidence of positive BDC correlation and MDS clustering between Tyrannosauridae, five close members of Tyrannosauroidea (Bistahieversor, Appalachiosaurus, Dryptosaurus, Raptorex, Xiongguanlong), and possibly with the more distant tyrannosauroid Eotyrannus.
“Fourthly, there is negative BDC correlation and a distinct visual MDS gap between the Tyrannosauridae with some close tyrannosauroids and the more distant tyrannosauroids and outgroup taxa. Based on these results, I determine that Tyrannosauridae is monobaraminic and, along with Bistahieversor,Appalachiosaurus, Dryptosaurus, Raptorex, Xiongguanlong, and possibly Eotyrannus, is holobaraminic with respect to other members of Tyrannosauroidea and all other dinosaurs. The position of Eotyrannus in the biological trajectory of this holobaramin suggests that tyrannosaurs may have originally had smaller skulls and longer arms in proportion to their bodies and three-fingered hands. Because many of the “basal” tyrannosauroids are poorly known, further discoveries of more complete specimens may place them within this holobaramin, or they may provide a link between Tyrannosauridae and other theropods.
“This article marks the first dinosaur holobaramin defined via statistical baraminology, and the results of this study suggest that the taxa Dinosauria, Saurischia, and Theropoda are polybaraminic.
“In order to determine the various original created kinds, creationists have begun to expand baraminological research to organisms only known through fossils. Previous studies have included fossil equids (Cavanaugh, Wood, and Wise 2003), archaeocetes (Mace and Wood 2005), hominids (Wood 2010), caseids (Aaron 2014), and Jurassic and Cretaceous Avialae (Garner, Wood, and Ross 2013). The criteria that have been used to determine the baraminic status of a fossil organism include morphology and stratigraphy (Cavanaugh, Wood, and Wise 2003).
“Conclusion
“After reviewing the BDC and MDS results from all five analyses, as well as relevant stratigraphic and paleobiogeographic data, I make the following conclusions: 1) Tyrannosauridae is a monobaramin; 2) Tyrannosauridae + Bistahieversor + Appalachiosaurus + Dryptosaurus + Raptorex + Xiongguanlong + Eotyrannus is holobaraminic with respect to more distant members of Tyrannosauroidea and all other dinosaurs; 3) The members of this new holobaramin form a trajectory in character space which may suggest a pattern for diversification in the pre-Flood world; 4) Tyrannosaurs may have originally had smaller skulls and larger arms in proportion to their bodies as well as three-fingered hands; 5) Dinosauria, Saurischia, and Theropoda are polybaraminic.
“It is possible that with further fossil discoveries, Eotyrannus may be found not to belong to this holobaramin, or intermediates may be found linking the more distant tyrannosauroids to the Tyrannosauridae. Thus, caution must be used with the results and implications of this analysis, as it should with all baraminological studies of fossil taxa. It is the hope of the author that this initial study of a dinosaur family through the use of statistical baraminology will be followed by similar analyses of other dinosaur taxa.”
We applaud Dr. Aaron’s research. But, not a single evidence of evolution exists among the hundreds of types of dinosaurs. All dinosaurs were sophisticated and highly specialized for survival. Let us give all glory to God who made those wonderful dinosaurs for us all to enjoy and to amaze.
TBILISI, Georgia - Severe flooding in the Georgian capital left at least 12 people dead Sunday and triggered a big-game hunt across the city for lions, tigers, a hippopotamus, and other dangerous animals that escaped from Tbilisi's ravaged zoo.
