modern synthesis... of 1) Inheritance is particulate in nature 2) this accounts for variation within populations 3) natural selection acts on particulate inheritance ... are other mechanisms of evolution other than natural selection e.g. genetic drift, migration HOWEVER these are not responsible for adaptation. ...
