The position I took at the time was that we hadn't really examined any of the potential environmental consequences of introducing genetically modified organisms. ↗

Splitting and gradual divergence of genera is exemplified very well and in a large variety of organisms. ↗

It has become evident that the primary lesson of the study of evolution is that all evolution is coevolution: every organism is evolving in tandem with the organisms around it. ↗

According to the concept of transformational evolution, first clearly articulated by Lamarck, evolution consists of the gradual transformation of organisms from one condition of existence to another. ↗
