Like the OP, who is ignorant about genetics, doesn't understand you can have a functional pragmatic application of practice without it having any overarching theoretical integration. The field of physics has many functionally "independent" formulations that cannot become conveniently interwoven into a theoretical understanding. Similarly, because I take a genetic test tomorrow, and the functions are understood minimally well (since we don't fully grasp the complex molecular processes of our bodies), doesn't mean humans are in the primate family. That's the pinnacle of ignorance. No one with a truly educated mind would claim such argumentation.
A good example was the atomic bomb. The scientists who produced the forceful, destructive item did it through principles that did not coincide with the theoretical framework of those times. Similarly, the notion that because of genome-wide analysis coverage -- thus this line of evolution -- is utter charlatan nonsense. You can grasp limited principled tendencies, not necessarily direct even, and still have a predictive practical orientation. So anyone who comes with this stupidity, trying to hold a false dilemma as a hostage tool, exposes their desperate ways of conforming by regurgitating a mess, thinking that makes them elevated. It's silly.
Frankly, is there any proof at all to those hypotheses? It seems to me like any chemical phenomenon of life origin story to increased complexity on the early history of this planet are merely conjectured-together things, which probably is consensus within the severe knowledge limitation. Yet, it doesn't meet any serious evidentiary threshold to claim it is a scientific fact.The discovery of endosymbiosis as the genesis of eukaryotes and horizontal gene transfer b/w microorganisms did disrupt the purely linear natural selection-genes framework of neo-Darwinians since it proved saltationary leaps were possible. Along with epigenetics as another external factor that works in conjunction with genes to produce phenotype.
The fact that the genetic sequences at and adjacent to the ROIs are identical for the two populations and for the two genes yet the mutation rates vary significantly between the populations and between the genes suggests that what affects these mutation rates in the germline includes more than this local DNA sequence and in that sense is complex. These results are consistent with the observation that the variation of the mutation rates across loci is partly cryptic (not explained by the local DNA context), especially in the case of A↔T transversions which include the HbS mutation-type (A→T). Combining the multiple insights discussed, the results suggest that mutation rates are both mutation-specific and influenced in a complex manner by the genetic and/or epigenetic background.But I'm surprised about that non-random mutation study, so I read into it a bit (read some blogs, reviews). What did the author mean by this:
"Mutations defy traditional thinking. The results suggest that complex information that is accumulated in the genome through the generations impacts mutation, and therefore mutation-specific origination rates can respond in the long-term to specific environmental pressures."
Are they suggesting currently thought to be nonfunctional genes/proteins (and/or epigenetic modifications) in the genome possibly regulate mutation rates at specific sites? If so isn't it still possible that SSA Africans acquired these theoretical mutation regulatory gene(s) randomly?
Very interesting.You seem highly intellectual. What's your verdict on how man was created in the Abrahamic religions. Although scientific bias can't be avoided in science, it's more believable that humans evolved from apes rather than the theory from a story in a 4000 year old book.I don't have a theory for life. Such a framework needs something too sophisticated.

That video with Denis Noble where he is refuting Dawkins isn't really referencing evolutionary biology but only one factor in it. Namely of Dawkin's Neo-Darwinian fixation on the gene-centric approach to biology. Mr. Noble had a problem with the approach of genome sequencing because being a physiologist (particularly when it comes to human physiology), he wanted there to be an improvement in the treatment of serious diseases but there was none.
Now according to Mr. Noble there was a minor association with how genomes affect the mechanisms of certain parts of the human body (he talks about the heart rhythm as an example) but he said nothing on the association between genome sequencing and the relation of other organisms with one another particularly the genome of other primates and humans.
It doesn't mean that Dawkins is wrong in his scientific arguments regarding the mechanisms of evolution but rather that he seems to be mistaken in his rigid fixation with genes being the only determinant factor in natural selection.

Tbf a lots of his ideas have been interpreted and used in ways he would never approve of but if he ever said things that might seem racist or insensitive today, it's only because he was a man of his times. A time of rising European domination.
Darwin was often troubled about what he found in his experimentations and in the conclusions he got from his writings. He even felt very conflicted towards the end of his life regarding the existence of God.
By biologizing colonial eradication, Darwin was making ‘racial’ extinction an inevitable evolutionary consequence…. Races and species perishing was the norm of prehistory. The uncivilized races were following suite [sic], except that Darwin’s mechanism here was modern-day massacre…. Imperialist expansion was becoming the very motor of human progress. It is interesting, given the family’s emotional anti-slavery views, that Darwin’s biologizing of genocide should appear to be so dispassionate…. Natural selection was now predicated on the weaker being extinguished. Individuals, races even, had to perish for progress to occur. Thus it was, that ‘Wherever the European has trod, death seems to pursue the aboriginal’. Europeans were the agents of Evolution. Prichard’s warning about aboriginal slaughter was intended to alert the nation, but Darwin was already naturalizing the cause and rationalizing the outcome.6

Yet, it doesn't meet any serious evidentiary threshold to claim it is a scientific fact.
One has to distinguish these two things: 1) Proving something can happen on the theoretical ground; 2) it did happen this way. A proof of concept does not mean an evidence case in such a specific occurrence. That leap is yet to be justified, and the former is also not justified.
Such formulations lay upon a platform of the arbitrary and convenient speculatory environment within a limited, simplified, narrow internal framework that assumes a naturalistic process supporting a through-line of tendencies for today's occurrences. It's circular. And this is not even a fraction of it.
The fact that the genetic sequences at and adjacent to the ROIs are identical for the two populations and for the two genes yet the mutation rates vary significantly between the populations and between the genes suggests that what affects these mutation rates in the germline includes more than this local DNA sequence and in that sense is complex. These results are consistent with the observation that the variation of the mutation rates across loci is partly cryptic (not explained by the local DNA context), especially in the case of A↔T transversions which include the HbS mutation-type (A→T). Combining the multiple insights discussed, the results suggest that mutation rates are both mutation-specific and influenced in a complex manner by the genetic and/or epigenetic background.
...suggests that the 20A→T mutation arises more frequently where it is of adaptive significance than where it is not, though data does not suffice to tell whether this effect is due to a population-level difference or due to a locus-based difference or both.
It means that a mutation can stream specific mutational adaptability frequency rates due to the human body's reaction to environmental pressures; an internal informational receptive architecture responsible for mutational occurrence influenced by the external. This unequivocally is non-random mutation.
The referenced study is a powerful case example since it has strongly parameterized boundaries where factors such as malaria geographic coverage are related to sickle cell anemia within site-specific areas.
The randomness of the process was the consensus in the past based on mere assumptions, plus no sufficient technology and techniques utilizing methods to have resolution power existed to confirm or deny. Now, we know this to be not the case. The old explanation of a mere blind selection process cannot statistically account for the 20-fold discrepancy.
The increased mutational rate in this specific case could mean that a mutation is like a tractable package that houses informational retention representing the result of the generational capacity from complex stochasticity between the inner bodily functions' interactions with the environment.
As the study points out, mutation should become the study in the long-term, not the immediate short-term, knowing how it is neither the primary result of selective blindness nor mechanistic randomness. That study was the first research that examined the mutation-specific resolution.
The next step is to work out the variation between these mutational expressions in a suite of areas for refinement of understanding of the correlational and causal complex workings, underlyingly grasp, at least, some of the molecular insight that gives rise to these architectural functions that are partly if not entirely, responsible for the increased rates of mutational occurrence which renders the process sophisticatedly non-random.

You consider yourself a genetic expert but can't even understand what Denis Noble was trying to say in his own video regarding genetic sequencing. Idiot.
How can you distort and call Darwin a racist when he came from a family who advocated for the abolition of slavery? He's own uncle Josiah Wedgwood was a prominent member of the abolitionist movement, would such people view "savage races" as inferior? I think not.(continued)
“At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races.” Not only racism, but racial extermination was an integral feature of Darwin’s theory from the start.
The Racism of Darwin and Darwinism
Editor’s note: The following is excerpted from Chapter 1 of Richard Weikart’s new book, How Darwinism Influenced Hitler, Nazism, and White Nationalism.
In 1881, toward the end of his life, Charles Darwin wrote to a colleague that the “more civilised so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilised races throughout the world.”1 This was not just some offhand comment unrelated to Darwin’s science. It reflected important elements of his theory of human evolution. Indeed, he articulated this same principle in his scientific study of human evolution, The Descent of Man (1871), where he claimed, “At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races.”2 Not only racism, but racial extermination was an integral feature of Darwin’s theory from the start.
This is a position that has been articulated by many historians of science.3 Two prominent historians specializing in the history of Darwinism, Adrian Desmond and James Moore, mince no words about the racism inherent in Darwin’s theory. In their magisterial biography of Darwin, they state, “‘Social Darwinism’ is often taken to be something extraneous, an ugly concretion added to the pure Darwinian corpus after the event, tarnishing Darwin’s image. But his notebooks make plain that competition, free trade, imperialism, racial extermination, and sexual inequality were written into the equation from the start — ‘Darwinism’ was always intended to explain human society.”4
A Surprise to Some
It might come as a surprise to some that Desmond and Moore include “racial extermination” in this list, since in a later book, Darwin’s Sacred Cause: How a Hatred of Slavery Shaped Darwin’s Views on Human Evolution, they emphasize Darwin’s humanitarianism and portray his loathing of slavery as a fundamental influence on his view of human evolution.5 However, if one actually reads Darwin’s Sacred Cause, one may be surprised to find that — despite their primary thesis — Desmond and Moore have not at all changed their position about Darwin embracing racism and even racial extermination. They state:
Genocide as Progressive Force
Thus, despite stressing Darwin’s opposition to slavery, Desmond and Moore freely admit that he saw genocide — something most of us would consider an even graver evil than slavery — as a progressive force in human evolution. He was thereby justifying the imperialist wars against aboriginal peoples that Europe was conducting in his time. (By the way, Darwin was not unique in embracing both abolitionism and racism, as quite a few 19th-century abolitionists were also racists.)
Desmond and Moore reinforce this point later in the book by quoting from a letter Darwin wrote to Charles Kingsley: “It is very true what you say about the higher races of men, when high enough, will have spread & exterminated whole nations.” Desmond and Moore then provide this explanation of Darwin’s sentiments that he expressed in that letter: “While slavery demanded one’s active participation, racial genocide was now normalized by natural selection and rationalized as nature’s way of producing ‘superior’ races. Darwin had ended up calibrating human ‘rank’ no differently from the rest of his society.”7 Darwin’s theory thus provided justification, not only for racism, but for racial struggle and even genocide.
Victorian Racism: Common but Not Ubiquitous
How had Darwin come to embrace these racist views? As many scholars have pointed out, Darwin’s view that races are unequal is unremarkable. Such racist ideas were circulating widely throughout Europe, both in scientific and popular circles, long before Darwin came on the scene. Many Europeans and Americans used these ideas to justify race-based slavery in the Americas, as well as the European conquest of other lands, such as Australia, New Zealand, the Americas, and later Africa.
However, not all British men and women in the 19th century embraced racism. Some prominent British intellectuals, missionaries, and church leaders believed that black Africans, for instance, were equal to Europeans and only needed the proper education and upbringing to attain the technological sophistication of the Europeans. The famous British missionary and African explorer David Livingstone not only rejected the notion that black Africans were unequal to Europeans, but also devoted his life to showing them love and compassion. He dedicated his energies to fighting against the slave trade, and he even expressed support for the Africans when they fought against British colonial encroachments.8 No wonder Livingstone was beloved by Africans and is still fondly remembered by black Africans.9 One of the most prominent British intellectuals in the 19th century, John Stuart Mill, likewise rejected the idea of racial inequality.10 Mill, like many of his contemporaries, embraced environmental determinism, so he believed that humans were shaped primarily by education and upbringing, not by their biology and heredity. Finally, Alfred Russel Wallace, the co-discoverer of natural selection, also rejected racism and opposed the idea that non-European races were somehow closer to non-human animals than their European counterparts.11
