Re: What!?!
Dear Sweeneytodd,
This seems true for a given environment. If changes occurs, the helpful/harmful ratio will have an other signification.
What was helpful to Early Cretaceous dinosaurs was harmful for uppermost Cretaceous dinosaurs. Their is a nice dictum: "Extinctions: bad genes or bad luck" (David Raup)
I think that the beneficial of mutations is allways positive, even if it is very small. Overwise, our days biodiversity should be very low.
