I read the abstract, Once again it seems to place too much emphasis on mutation. Most variation is in the juggling of the existing 30,000 genes. There is already variation in most genes and the sexual combination of gene sequences leads to a great deal of variety without any mutation to the gene. There is just a bit from the mom and a bit from the pop combined in a way that hadn't been combined before.


For example, if the mom gene sequence is "abcdef" and the Dad has slight differences so the same sequence is "ABCDEF" then the children will have sequences such as "ABcdeF" and AbcdEF" and so forth. The differnces are subtle, but any advantage will be amplified by selections.
