I doubt if the less than 1% difference between chimp and human DNA has anything to do with our drastically different phenotypes. It is far more likely that the structural chromosomal differences serve to modify the rate and timing of critical developmental transformations much as Goldschmidt predicted 64 years ago. I would also regard a structural chromosomal change as a mutation whether or not it involved a base pair substitution. salty

Maybe this item has already been debated into the ground before (I really have trouble following the heavy genetics topics), but I, very much not a biologist, did find this as something perhaps worth persuing. Are there at least some valid posibilities here?Remember, do any discussion at the source topic, not in this topic. Or maybe it belongs in a different topic.Cheers,

For example, there was the artist who engineered a rabbit that glowed. Let's say he never announced his project and simply set the animal free. And it mated and that trait became inherited and no one noticed these glowing rabbits until there was a small population already established.

See the original message for the greater context.In general, I continue to be a big fan of holmes. It seems I depend on him to make sense of the statements of the more "wacked out"* philosophers around here.* - meaning that their logic may or may not be valid, but it's certainly beyond my comprehension.Moose
