Not evolution at all..Mearly, as was stated many times in the article, mutations. At the end of the experiment they were left with what they started with,,,,, e.coli.
Bingo. Most people pushing the concept of evolution do not even know what it is.
The interesting part of this experiment was missed... What happened to the control sample which wasn't exposed to the extreme conditions? Did it mutate at all?? and when the mutated strains were mixed with the control strains under normal conditions, did they survive?
Two mutations under constant, extreme conditions over 20 years and how many generations?? That's pretty weak. If it mutated into something that could crawl out of the petri dish go to the fridge and make a sandwich when it was hungry, I would be impressed.
