If you have any nervous creationist types in the vicinity, you might want to make a scene so they see this on your computer screen.



A major evolutionary innovation has unfurled right in front of researchers' eyes. It's the first time evolution has been caught in the act of making such a rare and complex new trait.

And because the species in question is a bacterium, scientists have been able to replay history to show how this evolutionary novelty grew from the accumulation of unpredictable, chance events.

Evolution = the change in gene frequency over time and sex shuffles the deck
