Study Notes
Founder Principle and Rapid Speciation in Small Populations
- Ernst Mayr, a Harvard zoologist, advocated the concept of the "founder principle," similar to neo-Darwinian gradualism.
- The founder principle involves the establishment of a new population by a few original founders carrying a small fraction of the total genetic variation of the parental population.
- Inbreeding follows founder events, and populations are then restructured by natural selection in an altered environment, leading to rapid changes in characteristics.
- Small inbreeding populations, including humans, can develop distinct new characteristics rapidly, driven by recessive genetic traits and altered environments.
- Changes in characteristics due to an altered environment or isolated small populations are not due to mutations but to recombinations of existing genetic characteristics.
- Rapid changes in species' characteristics, possibly leading to new species, can occur in small populations placed in radically different environments and forced to inbreed.
- These changes represent variation or speciation, not evolution, and may result in new genera, but they are simply recombinations of existing genetic factors.
- The Genesis record aligns with this concept, suggesting that each family of land animals represented by a single pair on Noah's ark had dormant genetic variation.
- The post-Flood world with varied and rigorous environments led to the expression of dormant genetic variation in animals, resulting in rapid changes in characteristics.
- After the Flood, animals were instructed to multiply and fill the earth, and they emerged from the ark to breed abundantly, representing a new phase of rapid speciation.
- The phrase "after their kinds" in the Genesis account suggests the expression of dormant genetic variation in animals after the Flood, leading to rapid speciation.
- The post-Flood world with varied environments and changing climates provided the opportunity for the expression of dormant genetic variation, leading to rapid speciation.
