Vindicated but not cited: Paper in Nature Heredity supports Michael Behe's devolution hypothesis -- Science & Technology -- Sott.net
Current Biology. That paper stated: In laboratory-based experimental evolution of novel phenotypes and the human domestication of crops, the majority of the mutations that lead to adaptation are loss-of-function mutations that impair or eliminate the function of genes rather than gain-of-function mutations that increase or qualitatively alter the function of proteins. Murray's paper vindicated Behe's thesis which also argued tha t "random mutation and natural selection are in fact fiercely devolutionary." That is since "mutation easily breaks or degrades genes, which, counterintuitively, ...
