An inventive mechanism: A DNA 'Shapiro change' (Evolution)

DAVID’S comment: This modification is just what Shapiro has championed. A dramatic editing of DNA removing the metabolic stress of producing enzymes by finding a simpler way of manufacturing photosynthesis products. Still the same species! Doesn't show how speciation occurs and is no support for Darwin's original thesis.

DHW: So which part of Darwin’s thesis is not supported by genetic modification?

DAVID: Darwin did not know about genetics! Neo-Darwinism incorporated genetics much later on, and we are still studying how genetic change results in new species.

So...once more...which part of Darwin’s thesis is not supported by genetic modification?
