PB:
Since when is change in allele frequencies evolutionism? It is easy to explain by a multipurpose genome. If population genetics is evolutionism than I AM an evolutionist too. But, it is NO evolutionism, since it doesn't say anything about the generation of new organisms, novel genes, etc. You know
--and every educated biologist should know-- that you cannot present population genetics as evolutionism.
Check the glossary ... evolution has been defined as the
change in allele frequency over time for a while now.
You are mixing theory with mechanisms ... perhaps this is your
problem.
Are you aware of the 'systems' concept of emergent properties?
Basically this says that effects at the level of the system
cannot necessarily be explained by investigating the
components.
