Hybridization, Stabilization, and Macroevolution | Eugene McCarthy Phd

Eugene M McCarthy, Ph.d joins us to chat about his many years of research into hybridization, stabilization theory, and macroevolution. We talk about the differences between this and darwinism, like the accumulation of mutations vs genetic process. We get right into hybridization, even possibilities of where humans may have come from. ie. pig and monkeys, and there are many many examples of how true hybridization works. And of course we get to ask about Darren’s “Wolfin” and the Liger. Stabilization theory shows how and organism abruptly appears in the fossil record and then stays unchanged.We also chat about Gene’s journey through science, education and becoming so immersed in this research, in which he has accumulated one of the largest repositories, if not the largest repository of hybrid examples and stories through the human and animal kingdom.http://www.macroevolution.net/index.html
