Haldane's Dilemma
Greetings. Haldane’s dilemma is a topic that regularly resurfaces in scientific and quasi-scientific circles. The issue is often dramatized by a well-known, very verbose participant in evolution debates (nickname beginning with the letter “I”), which does not help constructive discussion. In this discussion I propose to settle the matter by outlining the conditions under which the dilemma arises and by clarifying whether it truly makes impossible an evolutionary process driven by “random mutations” and “natural selection.” A modern study of the problem is available here: https://www.sekj.org/PDF/anzf40/anzf40-185.pdf In addition, I propose discussing Muller’s ratchet in the same framework.
