Now you must take into account the number of mutations that are detrimental or benign versus beneficial and the probabilities of a change in environment natural selection pressure. Additionally, you must also account for how many generations it takes to have whatever sequential beneficial mutation appear and how many sequential mutations must exists for a new species to appear.

Start back in the past. How far? Take you pick, but find a spot.

Figure out how many mutations it takes to get from there to here in your chosen species.

The rest is left as an exercise for the student. (Show your work.)
