Almost all mutations die very quickly. Showing there is a bunch of mutants that lived, and caused a niche rivalry is another story.

Slow mutational evolution, vs. radical mutational evolution are two interesting but very different mechanisms, wouldn't you say? Their mechanism is important as it relates to transistion, don't you think? Especially for higher animals that require intermingling for reproduction. A genetic modification, that a bacterium could accomplish, is not a sufficient condition for a mammal, that would require another similar mutant, to propagate. That is speciation.

Speciation is the NS approach, and is not robust in examples.

I apologize if it is too much info to handle for very sophisticated intellects to handle.

If you want to be just like every other media elite, claiming to have real truth, good luck, have fun.

Go away.

Don't even bother with the claim to science. You're not there.

Of course, most mutations are not advantageous, and those that are will still over time eventually lose out to dire environmental factors or competition from other organisms. Does your use of the term "mechanism" imply a purposeful motivated force on what is essentially a random series of events?
