Hi guys, i have just started reading a book on darwinism ( Title : Uncommon Dissent ). I do not understand the differential element of the neo-darwinism theory which states " the probability of occurence of any mutation is unrelated to its prospective contribution to the functionality of any structure, present or future. Contributions to function affect only the chances of the mutation's successful propagation, not its original appearance."
To be specific, i don't understand the phrase "prospective contribution", "mutation's successful propagation"
Any views or interpretation of this is greatly appreciated =)
