Coat color evolution--is there evidence for new mutations?

[Mercer (John Mercer)]

@T_aquaticus

Look at the figure:

I have. YOUR false statement made no reference to Avra Valley and Portal:

@T_aquaticus

As you move away from the lava flows you don’t find the dominant black allele , even though there is free interbreeding between the brown and black populations. This demonstrates strong negative selection against the black allele outside of the basalt islands.

@T_aquaticus

Look at the pie chart for the Avra Valley and Portal locales.

I have. You did not cite them in your false statement.

@T_aquaticus

The sample size is large enough to strongly evidence the elimination of the dominant black allele from the population, especially given the strong gradient of coat color right next to the black basalt islands.

Show me how you determined that statistically. What’s the probability that 0 of 43 means 0 of thousands?

And even then, you haven’t shown any evidence for the complete reproductive isolation required.

There’s simply no evidence to support your claim that any of these mutations are new.

@T_aquaticus

I have responded in several posts thus far.

Not to most of my questions, while presenting nothing to support your claim that the mutations are new. You’re literally working from the false ID assumption!

Here are a couple you might want to address, if your ego will allow you to:

@Mercer

And how did you determine that the population is completely reproductively isolated from populations with the black allele? Why did they find a black mouse at Pincate on a light environment if the negative selection is so strong?
