Walt wrote, about a posting by Glenn: " You say here that a fossil
discovery "will slow down the rate of mutation".
Amazing! Will it also alter the rate radioactive decay and other physical
phenomena that have nothing to do with archaeology?"
I thought Glenn's post was most interesting. Glenn, like me, does not always
write precisely -- obviously what he meant by the above is that the current
theories of rates of mutation will have to take these findings into account
and he expects that those theoretical rates will necessarily have to be
smaller than now envisioned.
I think he is right.
