Another problem with this, following up on my comment above, is that there aren’t enough mutations to do the job.[/quote]
Sure there are! You’re just ignoring the vast majority of them.
[quote]The beneficial mutations in protein-coding genes, to evolve the human from a small, primitive ape, literally number only in the hundreds. It would be astonishing if the human could be evolved from so few mutations.
[/quote]It would be astonishing indeed. Is that why you’re ignoring recombination, translocation, and mutations in regulatory regions? These far outnumber the differences in protein-coding regions.
