Okay, so natural selection, I’m all down with that, makes total sense.<\/p>\n
Speciation by separation of initially same species populations, sure that makes sense. You move to california and your siblings move to texas and conversation afterwards just never seems to work. Same basic idea. <\/p>\n
But how on earth does the number of chromosomes change? That seems like an abrupt step, that would be discrete in nature, and I would thus expect very little variation in the number of chromosomes. I don’t understand how it would work unless chromosomes aren’t really so separate, like the various phases of mitosis, a human imposed deliniation on what is naturally continuous. <\/p>\n
