One gene per 10k years seems slow enough that most alterations could be transmitted through the global population by now. Another problem I have with your model is that it deals in years, not generations.

I hope you don't mind the off-topic question, but are you descended from "the" Martin Harris?

[QUOTE][b]An offspring somehow has a new gene (mutation, copying error, etc.), so what will happen when it mates? Assuming it's still reproductively compatible with others of its species, what will happen to this new gene when the haploid sperm and egg combine?[/QUOTE]

The organism will be hemizygous for the gene.

Does anybody else think that the nature of the aforementioned catastrophe should be checked out? I've heard it pinned on a caldera collapse in Asia.
