if we can expect to have a relatively small number of mutations per individual, then is it logical to infer that a populous will evolve at a much more excellerated pace the more sparce it is? i'd think a larger population would more likely sustain its hallmark characteristics due to the masking. statistically speaking, there would be more of the 'standard features' being replicated in larger number and frequency than individual anomolies. if that is true, then perhaps adaptation is most pronounced during environmental strife where a specialization is no longer the most fit way to survive. any anomoly then, has more of a 'voice' in the gene pool of the species. i'd love to work out the math for that. thoughts?
