n the late 1800s, the saltation hypothesis (hopeful monster hypothesis) was proposed as a way to explain how speciation happens. Why was this hypothesis ultimately rejected by "the new synthesis"?     Because it was silly     Because it required individuals to evolve rather than populations     Because it could not explain where mutations came from     Because we discovered the DNA nature of genes

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
