Proposal
The purpose of this paper is to look at the Biblical kind, focussing on the only two known kinds to be on the Ark, the dove and the raven. They give an opportunity to clearly identify the way in which a biblical kind has developed into races in the Post-Flood era. The two bird groups are considered with reference to hybridisation records, karyotypes and genetic variation. A fundamental concept to this paper is the respective authorship of Genesis, Deuteronomy and Leviticus. There is therefore a brief review of the role of Moses, as the editor of documents handed down from the Patriarchs.
