Still, remember the classic moth experiment? A simple selection for color was all it took for an entire phenotype to flourish. Gradualism also exists in evolutionary arms races--generation by generation fights to one-up each other.

Most folks think the peppered moth experiment was not properly done, and the results are wrong.

You should be more clear here, because this one is still used as a very "simple case" of evolution. Pigliucci treats it thoroughly in "Denying Evolution."
