... change, not its mechanism(s). Now NS is invalidated by the fact of speciation as NS only deals with triats already present and cant deal with the generation of new species Speciation has always been seen as the basic step of evolution. One can evolve new traits without genetic mutation (eg quantitative ...

How does Head To Head Telomere Fusion express itself?

... how a "head to head telomeric fusion" (not a Robertsonian translocation) such as human chromosome 2 would express itself in the first generations. About 2/3 down there is a paper with a Punnett square of the event in the first generation: http://www.c-s-p.org/Flyers/9781847182647-sample.pdf ...
