Genes are not changed by mutation but new complexities appear instead to advance evolution. I remind you of the, as not yet announced, results of the Augsberg conference, that we all should be waiting for.-There is still much discussion of where Neo-Darwinism is headed. This article mentions primarily those scientists who think that not much transformation is necessary for the Neo-D, which is 70 years old.-http://www.the-scientist.com/2010/1/1/24/1/
