Evolution is Viral The Theory of Collective Discontinuous Evolution

Herein will be discussed the problems associated with the origin of species according to Darwinist processes of individual mutations. We will argue that individual mutations cannot be the driving force of species origination. A far more probable explanation is a process of collective mutation that affects numerous individuals near simultaneously akin to an infectious disease. These types of mutations might be precipitated by viruses which would create a discontinuous leap into another species. Such a mechanism also sheds light on the increased rate of evolution observed currently. I) Darwinian Evolution According to Darwinian evolution (1), new species occur as a result of two processes; 1) Random individual inheritable mutations (in common parlance – random mutation). 2) Natural Selection – whereby mutations that increases fitness in a given environ proliferate throughout the population. Yet it is most important to note that for an individual mutation to proliferate throughout a population it must allow for the creation of viable offspring. It is a central property of a species that viable offspring can only occur within the species, and that inter-species mating will not result in viable offspring (offspring that can produce offspring). Therefore the Darwinian methods fails to account for the origin of species; for if a random mutation created a new species this individual would not be able to father or bear viable offspring. Secondly the chances of there being tw
