Chapter 13: The Five Forces Behind Human Evolution
Genetic variation fuels natural selection and genetic inheritance transmits adaptive traits from one generation to the next. If all the members of a species were genetically identical, then there would be no genetic variation and hence no natural selection. ... 3 Of course, a few mutations here and there have probably helped along the way.
