I have just read an interesting
story on evolution ..
I think evolutionists will find this quite fascinating too:
http://www.worldwideschool.org/...toryofEvolution/chap8.html
Somewhere in the middle they mention mutations as in
Mendelism (or Mutationism). Is the modern school of Darwinism an offshoot of this line of thinking?
Clearly, they did not know then what scientists know now, but they still talk about mutations.
So my question is: when were the first mutations successfully observed and did scientists ever acknowledge a
barrier or was it always assumed that none existed and that this process can carry on indefinitely on changing populations.
