| Sep 26, 2017 at 23:27 | comment | added | Remi.b | @David You're right! Thanks for that. I've removed my link to wikipedia from my question (and my previous comment). I would not think anyone would argue that the claim is not a common one but I did quickly link to three SE posts who talk about "random mutations". | |

| Sep 25, 2017 at 22:37 | comment | added | bandybabboon | genetic recombinations are fairly random, but mammals have more efficient mutations than birds, owing to their 2x times bigger genomes. when the chromosomes devide and combine, segments shuffle around a bit like when you mix up colored socks in a draw. the mutations are carefully balanced, not random at at all, as in randomly growing a nose on your elbow. | |
| Sep 25, 2017 at 22:12 | comment | added | David | A bit of a straw horse? However I have taken it by the horns (biology was never my strong suit) and provided an answer that explores a rather different aspect from you. | |
