You deserve a third facepalm with that statement. Adaption IS evolution dufus. The way swine flu evolved from another strand of flu is the same way we humans evolved from our ancestor.

It's not like anyone is proposing that we evolved from something completely different from us. Because that's what you're implying when you use your cancer analogy.
