In such an environment the population rises, and the number of novel genes and combinations rise with the population

How you doin TigerPaws (God, I love that name!).

What measurements have been done (and by whom) to quantify novel genes in a population group? Was it a human population group? Has it been proven that novel genes increase on a uniform basis with all (species) forms of population growth, or do we assume (by convention) a certain geometric ratio? (and what experiments or historicity was this based upon)? Is this scientific extrapolation, and if so, is it good science to make those kinds of assumptions in a theoretical modality that is somewhat fragile, and could easily presume doubt based on unknown factors? If it has been proven that novel genes do increase in a mathematical ratio with population growth...have the effects of that novel gene increase been evidenced in repeated experiments, or observations, and found to give an consistent and reliable result??
