All I claimed was that when a drastic change occurs, it occurs in a relatively small and isolated population.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The major novelty of my theory was its claim that the most rapid evolutionary change does not occur in widespread, populous species, as claimed by Most geneticists, but in small founder populations.
Another cause of change, one less noticeable but fundamental, is the modern growth of population closely connected with scientific and medical discoveries. It is interesting that the United Nations has set up a special Commission to study this question.
Indeed, I was unable to find any evidence whatsoever of the occurrence of a drastic evolutionary acceleration and genetic reconstruction in widespread, populous species.
All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.
Startling, and alarming to many, is the conclusion that follows from these data that if all people were treated the same, most average race differences would not disappear.
Places change all the time, and the type of people who live there change.
In science, it is rare that a transformational change occurs during our lifetimes.
Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio.
I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term of Natural Selection.
Things change in different countries as people grow, and as generations change.
