<It wasn't too hard.> Except no one is arguing that... that does NOT support your assertion. Everyone agrees that sexual recombination is important! What are trying to pull?? Can you show even ONE article that general scientific thought today puts recombination at the forefront and more important than mutataion or NOT? DAK PS, I'll give you a hint, the Science article intro is very mainstream... ie. the answer to the above is NOT.

Here, I'll throw ya a bone: <<Mutation is generally accepted by the scientific community as the mechanism upon which natural selection acts,>> en.wikipedia.org <<Evolution is the process of change in all forms of life over generations, and evolutionary biology is the study of how evolution occurs. Every generation an organism inherits features (called traits) from its parents through genes. Changes (called mutations) in the genes can produce a new trait in the offspring of an organism. >> en.wikipedia.org <<In evolutionary theory, specifically the theory of evolution by natural selection, mutation is considered the main source of new variation in a population.>> newworldencyclopedia.org OTOH, as you may know there is a LOT of debate about the talk of the importance of sex in REDUCING (or not) the load of deliterious mutations on the genome.
