Without mutation this entire cohort can only have 4 or 14 alleles at any locus given that they have just 2 or 7 ancestors. But among them today there are many hundreds of known alleles at some loci. So which is false, is mutation and natural selection inventive and CTD is wrong when he states that this is not the case or is the ark story impossible as there must be far more than just seven ancestors of modern dog kind?
Care to show us your math? I'd hate to buy into something only to find out it was the result of faulty arithmetic.
