I did not claim that speciation occurs only in founder populations.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most evolving lineages, human or otherwise, when threatened with extinction, don't do anything special to avoid it.
The process of speciation is completed with the cessation of genetic exchange.
Indeed, I was unable to find any evidence whatsoever of the occurrence of a drastic evolutionary acceleration and genetic reconstruction in widespread, populous species.
Traditional ways of distinguishing populations are irrelevant in terms of genetic code.
Natural selection is not evolution.
The theory of founder effects does not explain how novel features like plumage traits arise.
All I claimed was that when a drastic change occurs, it occurs in a relatively small and isolated population.
The proposition that humans have mental characteristics wholly absent in non-humans is inconsistent with the theory of evolution.
There is no controversy within science over the core proposition of evolutionary theory.
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.
