You're going to get some bites on that one, even around here with people who are familiar with you. I look forward to it.

So, according to you, there's no evidence of tooth-marks on bones indicating either predation or scavenging?

There are, in fossilized remains of humans and prehumans, no signs of predation by toothed and clawed predators, as well as no sign of skeletal damage from weapons wielded by others of their own species? Really? Look it up. There is.

What there is no fossil evidence of is--ready?--damage via fist.

Have there ever been any experiments designed to test any theory of evolution? That ever possibly could be?

That depends, radiant genius, on whether you consider examination of the fossil record an "experiment".

Evolution experiment you say?

Only included cause it is an interesting story more than anything else.

Also there has been plenty of stuff done with bacteria as poof of concept.
