  • Did some research. It's a pseudoscientific term used to describe negative mutations in a creature. SSG first assumed that the process of evolution only progresses forwards. Then he completely forgot about the concept of natural selection.

  • The big problem with the whole thing: "pseudoscientific".

  • Natural selection doesn't negate the thinking. Whenever it is demonstrated in nature or even in textbooks, it doesn't create a new species, only variants.

  • If two organisms are fertile and cannot breed with each other, then they are separate species. This has been observed

    [quote]Natural selection doesn't negate the thinking.[/quote] If your thinking is that "devolution" prevents macroevolution via the negative mutations balancing out the positive, then yes, it does. [spoiler]You haven't explained how it prevents macroevolution from what I know. I'll read through the OP for clarification.[/spoiler] [quote]Whenever it is demonstrated in nature or even in textbooks, it doesn't create a new species, only variants.[/quote] We're talking about evolution as a whole, correct? Species to species evolution on a large scale hasn't been observed. We assume that if it's true in small scale, given time, it's true in large scale. You assume that some mechanism prevents this. Which is a more reasonable assumption? [b]Edit:[/b] you explained the process of cyclicality as a means of undermining macroevolution. Can you link to me the study about the mosquitos?
