Okay, let's rephrase the question - which has as yet not been answered. IF non-random mutations exist, how would they be identified (i.e., how do you tell the difference between non-random as to position and statistically more likely)? If the non-random mutation hypothesis is true, what evidence would we be able to find in support (or to falsify) the idea? (Please don't simply repeat "IG5, IL-1b, and ZFX/ZFY" ad nauseum - please specifically show how these sequences are non-random).

Quetzal,
I wish you luck, I've been asking a similar question of P.Borger for some time, until he saw fit to no longer answer my posts, that is.

I can see a potential answer, but it requires a LOT of extant sequences & phylogenetic analyses, which both Peter B & Fred eschew, so they lucked out on that one. Beyond that, I don't see ANY possibility of determining hot-spots in ancient sequences from extant ones.
