How do you explain Variation, Reproduction & Selection with no Evolution?
By evolution here, you mean morphological change that is interesting enough to deserve the word, so that is somewhat arbitrary. The classic Darwinian response is that if you have selection, over a long enough period of time, you will have evolution. But just reproduction/variation and random mortality are not enough because you can have a population in equilibrium that does not change enough to be called evolutionary. Dynamic equil;ibrium does nto mean that everythign stays the same. It’s more like random oscillation. It is the null state of gene pool variation, without evolutionary pressure. “Variation-…Over time this only allows change/Evolution otherwise surely we would run out of genes if evolution did not exist.” You can have a lot of variation without having directional change. “Reproduction- Pairs of genes create offspring with a new genetic background and possibilities of a mutation also…” See above. Unless there is directional change, you can have a million varieties of ha
