what is it that has caused the changes from the ancestor to the present - only random mutation and natural selection? Most variation is sexual recombination. This is not random, it is a mixing of proven designs. However, random mutation is the raw material for all other variation. A useful mutation may appear by random only once in a while, but it will be combined with previous proven gene patterns in all sorts of degrees and selected. "Sexual recombination" - isn't this just a way of saying reproduction? In what way does reproduction or "sexual recombination" produce variation?
