  • So even if the odd macromutation caused one of these sequences to appear in some unfortunate organism, natural selection would ensure that the gene was quickly flushed from the population in subsequent generations.

  • Recombination sex is double-edged sword: it makes a species more adaptable, but can also destroy crucial segements of the genome, and act essentially as a “macromutation”.

  • However, this view should not be confused with the saltation theory of Bateson (1894) or the macromutation theory of De Vries (1901-1903), in which natural selection plays little role.

  • Similarly, creation scientist Dr. Don Batten concurs with the Harvard evolutionist Ernst Mayr and states that in 1982 Gould distanced himself from "Hopeful Monsters" and cites Gould stating that "Punctuated equilibrium is not a theory of macromutation, it is not a theory of any genetic process" although Dr. Batten also cites Gould admitting to having supported
