re: #96 Blind Frog Belly White
Think of it as a completely continuous spectrum, from breeding a line of dogs with a single hair color out of a more diverse population, all the way up to the entire family tree of life, from the first living thing down to the entirety of biodiversity that exists. From selecting for a single trait, all the way to the totality of Evolution is all one continous line, from left to right.
Now, arbitrarily draw a vertical line, and say that only things to the left of this can happen.
I’m sure many of them expect & believe macro should entail some sort of saltation event where a dog gives birth to a catdog or dogcat.
Or a crocoduck
