A species is a reproductive community of populations reproductively isolated from others that occupies a specific niche in nature.

I have the honesty to say I'm an Atheist. There is nothing that supports the idea of a personal God.

New gene pools are generated in every generation, and evolution takes place because the successful individuals produced by these gene pools give rise to the next generation.

Biology can be divided into the study of proximate causes, the study of the physiological sciences (broadly conceived), and into the study of ultimate (evolutionary) causes, the subject of natural history.

Indeed, I was unable to find any evidence whatsoever of the occurrence of a drastic evolutionary acceleration and genetic reconstruction in widespread, populous species.

It seems to me that for Darwin the pulsing of evolutionary rates was a strictly vertical phenomenon.

As a consequence, geneticists described evolution simply as a change in gene frequencies in populations, totally ignoring the fact that evolution consists of the two simultaneous but quite separate phenomena of adaptation and diversification.
