There is much about evolution that is not understood, that Darwin did not understand or explain. Darwin was simply the first to suppose it. It is a broad subject that is often described in much too simple terms to illustrate it. The role of mutations seems over stressed me, the human race is very diverse and I would not call people different than me mutants. A mutation is described as a sudden departure form the parent, they do happen, and my experience with newborns clearly demonstrated it. Often these defects would happen in clusters (we could rely on that) then we would not see that defect again for several months. Humans have become more intelligent and I doubt we would recognize humans in 2 million years. Hopefully humanity can survive long enough to see what good it is capable of.
The beauty of science is that theories are always open to modification. It is unfortunate it conflicts with religious beliefs, but scientific thought often has in the past. Evolution is a profound idea with a lot of evidence for it. Understanding
evolution is vital to understanding biology
