"Measurable change in a population" and "evolution" are two different things. What is the NEW gene or genotype in the example referred to in the article, and how does one know (in a scientific sense) that whatever characteristics present in the surivors was not already inherent in the precursor genes? In short, what is the identification of the "new" gene(s)?
How is this domestication experiment any different than a filter or a culture media in a lab that would not create anything?
Cordially,
The article discusses this, but of course, you have to read the article.
Mutations occur all the time. The Rex cat, with its extremely fine hair, is a mutant. Admittedly you would need some DNA work to prove this, but you cannot get rex cats through normal breeding programs.
