> To answer your question, the prime mover would be the stimulus that stresses the organism and forces selection. It's like evolution within a generation, but... maybe its just the way I think, but I don't see this as threatening any paradigms...-The Darwin paradigm as presented by Charles himself was that of slow and gradual changes, step by step. Darwin could not have guessed at what we are finding now, but some of his followers still think that way. Gould's PE has come to the fore, and the Cambrian Explosion certainly shows that species appear full-blown. The Dawkins whale series shows a series of differing forms, but large gaps between each one. There is no evidence of Darwin's step by step
guess. "IF" the first Archaia had adaptive mechanisms in the genome to stresses presented by environment, that is suggestive of design. The first organisms
at 3.6 bya had to face enormous environmenal changes. The Earth was still cooling down, CO2 and O2 were still altering their levels enormously,'snowball' Earth was still to be experienced, etc. Without those initial adaptive abilities
it is unlikely life would have survived. I believe as research advances, it will be fully confirmed that the earliest organisms had adaptation built in. Your answer will be that we can only study living organisms now, and more simplistic organisms preceded what we see presently. That is no more proveable than my theory which views life as surviveable only if complete with good adaptive defenses.
