But how then, if a mutation is beneficial in one environment, but deleterious in another, do we define exactly what an advantageous mutation is?

I hunt for the truth

What you can do in my country and get away with:
​
Softdrugs? Legal!
Legal drinking age? 16!
Birth control (the pill)? Free!
Gay marriage? Legal!
Abortion? Legal!
Euthanasia? Legal!
Age of consent? 16 (14 if you have the parents permission)!
​
Yep, only one way down for us!
