OK. When someone breaks the law and the receive the appropriated punishment, it is unjust? It must be another one of those new European ideas that throws me for a loop.

The basis on which the different species are labelled, sorted and organized into groups etc is changed.

Actually the name for the organisms themselves dont change really. But the groups they organized within. The essential point is that they are not changed for the fun of changing it and not based on your favorite colors or food preferences, but based on the new knowledge modern genetics has granted to us about those organisms.

The proof lies in the DNA of the organisms.
You're misunderstanding my question, but regardless the original point stands: evolution requires assumptions. You've contended that we'll prove evolution with the new groupings - but we haven't, and you're making a second assumption in order to jump over the first. It's not all too convincing.
