> Considering that the bacterial studies in the early 80's demonstrated that knocking out lactase genes caused the organisms to modify or adapt another existing gene for the same purpose, to me it seems that the creation of new organs can/would be certainly plausible under NS. How absolute are you that NS cannot cause innovation? I think the blanket you throw here is too wide...-Strictly speaking your thought about N S is wrong. NS is passive, absolutely. It must work with the mutations that occur, and which must be helpful, which is not a common event. Epigenetics is more logical as a mechanism. To jump from a minor metabolic adaptation to a whole new organ is a giant leap of faith on a chance process.
