Re: In reality, species evolve from previous species through some kind of transformation or mutation. Thus, future models should reflect the fact that any new species should partially inherit the properties of a preceding species.
In my model, species do not evolve. Ecological variation leads to ecological adaptations via nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled cell type differentiation. Ecologically adapted species acquire nutrient-dependent amino acid substitutions that stabilize the organized genome.
Mutations that perturb the protein folding that is required for increasing organismal complexity via the de novo creation of genes are eliminated, which is why mutation-initiated natural selection is a pseudoscientific approach to understanding the morphological and behavioral phenotypes manifested as biodiversity.
