Re: Evolution Pros and Cons

Here is a good evolutionary test. The theory is random mutations leads to adaptions to the environment via selective advantage. To test this, we will start with mice and artificially induce random mutations. We can't use logic to plan the mutations, since that would prove genetics evolves using some rational schema.

What should happen, if the theory is correct, is not only the perpetuation of the mice sample, but better adaptation. If we mess up successive generations of mice, due to random mutations, it would show random will not work and the theory is wrong at least in part.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
