Did some research.
It's a pseudoscientific term used to describe negative mutations in a creature.
SSG first assumed that the process of evolution only progresses forwards.
Then he completely forgot about the concept of natural selection.

The big problem with the whole thing: "pseudoscientific".

Natural selection doesn't negate the thinking. Whenever it is demonstrated in nature or even in textbooks, it doesn't create a new species, only variants.

If two organisms are fertile and cannot breed with each other, then they are separate species. This has been observed

Edited by FakeQuasiMixture: 7/12/2015 2:53:05 AM[quote]Natural selection doesn't negate the thinking.[/quote] If your thinking is that "devolution" prevents macroevolution via the negative mutations balancing out the positive, then yes, it does. [spoiler]You haven't explained how it prevents macroevolution from what I know. I'll read through the OP for clarification.[/spoiler] [quote]Whenever it is demonstrated in nature or even in textbooks, it doesn't create a new species, only variants.[/quote] We're talking about evolution as a whole, correct? Species to species evolution on a large scale hasn't been observed. We assume that if it's true in small scale, given time, it's true in large scale. You assume that some mechanism prevents this. Which is a more reasonable assumption? [b]Edit:[/b] you explained the process of cyclicality as a means of undermining macroevolution. Can you link to me the study about the mosquitos?
