 | The evidence that historical evolution has occurred - that organisms have changed radically over the course of hundreds of millions of years since the first life on earth - comes from a combination of examination of the fossil record and studies of the comparative morphology and genetics and the geographical distribution of modern organisms. |
 | The colonies that form after about 10-20 generations are composed of clusters of daughter cells that remain within the mother cell's envelope, so they will be as genetically identical to each other as the cells in, say, a human body. |
 | This is easily explained as the result of rare mutations but very difficult to explain as the persistence of genetic variants from the original wild population, given the large number of generations involved and the extreme rarity of the observation of clustering. |
