Document Summary
Be it resolved that predictions of the neodarwinian theory of evolution are. Punctuated equilibrium is not explained by neodarwinian theory. For certain organisms, evolutionary timelines are accelerated due to increased stress. An example: lizards in indonesia had to evolve traits to increase success in regions of low insect population after moving from island of many (multiple stomachs). Genetic drift occurs with no apparent reason found by environmental stress(think size increase in certain organisms) Evolution more than randomness random mutation rates high in those highly expressed genes (intrinsic mechanism to keep or keep changing gene codes) not random. Experiment removes intelligence genes from a suite of mice brain training activities applied to increase intelligence offspring, despite having. Stupid genes, were more intelligent upon birth without applied training (perhaps due to parental training- a non- genetic means of acquiring learned traits from parents ) Dna those in poverty were malnourished children descended from pooper populations found to have.
