“Whatever happens, happens because of the genes themselves.”
I agree, but isn't there much more to it than that?
In other words, the behavior of genes themselves will dominate, until and unless a meteor crashes into the planet, thereby introducing massive evolutionary chaos and entropy due to a cocktail of forces that destroy some species while placing immense evolutionary pressure on all. This would be accompanied by immense radiation that acts as both an accelerant and randomizer that injects both leapfrogging and gaps in otherwise linear genetic evolution.
I believe your model accommodates this, but it doesn't seem to highlight it.
If true, the outcome of such “catastrophic destructive radioactive events” could be far more profound... (read more)
