While classic evolution theory seems to describe fairly well the kind of
gradual, step-by-step change described by Darwin with his Galapagos finches,
by far the greatest evolutionary changes occur in sudden appearances of
new species which occur in a relative blink of an eye. Presumably occurring
during radically increased mutation of inbred, isolated populations, each
such species change encompasses thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands
of interrelated functional mutations, many of which seem to require others
to appear simultaneously in order for all to function as a system, while
non-adaptive mutations are effectively eliminated from the gene pool. It
is here that evolution theory as random permutation seems unconvincing;
though difficult to quantify, the astounding quantity of adaptive changes
to appear relatively overnight at the appearance of new species does not
seem to fit the normal explanation of gradual survival of the fittest over
millions of years.. The creation of new species may imply if not 'intelligent
design' by a biblical-type creator, at least a species-level telepathically[?]-induced
controlled direction to mutation - or if one can find such an explanation
preferable, a synchronistic development.
Far from appearing
to produce calibrated mutations, the limited observations of high-mutation
inbred populations appear to produce mostly non-adaptive mutations. Possibility
of experimentation by deliberate inbreeding of short-lived species in controlled
altered environment.
