arguing in the ranks These articles miss the real transition from Darwin's slow gradual change theory to the more modern sudden change theories. The root cause is that Darwin did not know much about reproduction. Organisms mate and have babies, that's about as sophisticated as it got. The assumption was that it was some sort of analog process. The babies were imperfect copies of the parent and so variation occurred with every generation. It is now known that DNA is a digital medium and that reproduction can be carried out quite exactly. Mutations enter the picture slowly, but they can be stored without being expressed for very long periods of time. This is why finches can all grow long beaks, and quickly revert back when conditions change. The genes are not lost, they are just in the unexpressed library of genes. Humans still possess nearly all the genes of the chimpanzees, they occasionally get expressed as the hair-covered attractions in a side show, or curved spine individuals. They are available to the gene pool should conditions arrive that make them favorable. TP
