		It is the association of molecular biology, evolution and population genetics.
		Neutral mutations do not affect the organism's chances of survival in its natural environment and can accumulate over time, which might result in what is known as punctuated equilibrium; the modern interpretation of classic evolutionary theory.
		An important area within the study of molecular evolution is the use of molecular data to determine the correct scientific classification of organisms.

		The current dominant theory of evolution is known as the "modern evolutionary synthesis" (or simply "modern synthesis"), referring to the synthesis of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection and Mendel's theory of the gene.
		This theory, punctuated equilibrium, put forth by Stephen Jay Gould, is based on the fact that there are critical genes (such as the homeobox) in all living organisms, and a small change in them could cause drastic changes in the organism, resulting in a new species quite rapidly.
		Ever since the theory of evolution was first popularized by Charles Darwin, religious fundamentalists have claimed that the theory is false and that a supreme being (usually referred to as "God") was responsible for creation of the species.

		Other kinds of evolution include evolutionary algorithm s (which include genetic algorithm s) which attempt to mimic processes similar to biological evolution in a computer program, most frequently as an optimization technique and as an experimental framework for the computational modelling of evolution.
		The current dominant theory of evolution is known as the " modern evolutionary synthesis " (or simply "modern synthesis"), referring to the synthesis of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection and Mendel 's theory of the gene.
		Christians, Jews and Muslims who reject evolution point to the Bible and the Quran to support their views and have offered what they believe to be proof of the impossibility of macroevolution in particular.

		His scientific theories can be salvaged only through intense modification-but the attacks that Wells and others engage in against him are very personal and accuse him of being an unreconconstructed bigot, I think to cover their own attempts to do what Coon did-reconstruct human racial history.
		It seems similar to puncuated evolution "where instead of a slow, continuous movement, evolution tends to be characterized by long periods of virtual standstill ("equilibrium"), "punctuated" by episodes of very fast development of new forms." That is analogous to the growth of Islam in the heartland...
