Why?

You said:

Since the quote I pulled is dated 1989, and the one you pulled is dated 1988, one could make the point that your quote is outdated in light of new evidence.

So what is this "new evidence" that must have come up between 1988 and 1989 which makes Mayr "outdated"? Or are you only relating to me a fantasy of yours?

Whatever the evidence was, it was enough to set the 1989 definition of evolution as a change in allele frequency over time -- pretty much what it is now. That's alright, dear heart, at least you aren't dredging up stuff from decades ago as some creationists are wont to do.
