Tsumetai has reinserted neutral evolution bit, with the comment, "''selectively neutral doesn't mean no change to the phenotype''". No, but surely it doesn't mean that it constitutes '''macro'''evolution. Anyway, I'll wait for TimS' extra material. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 09:42, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

:I will continue when I have the chance on the edit. I am on lunch right now. Tsumetai is correct in that neutral evolution does not mean a lack of change in the phenotype, an example in laymans terms, hair color is a neutral change in the phenotype. A single neutral change does not have an impact on the speciation but it is the accumilation of these phenotype changes that makes the difference and thus the impact on speciation. That is why neutral evolution is considered a mech. of macroevolution. --[[User:Tims|TimS]] 12:51, 14 April 2007 (EDT)
