Abstract: Those trying to explain the evolution of adaptations broadly fall into two camps. Whereas Darwin suggested that small variations accumulate gradually, early geneticists believed that adaptations evolved through major mutations. A new study adds fuel to this debate by showing that adaptation may be based on larger factors than previously supposed.
