You practically only get fossils from members of the established population.... the ones that got some beneficial mutation.
Here's a nice link to start learning about it: Fossilization processes
Do species have a protection system to deny non-beneficial mutation?
Yes, and it is very intelligent
If Evolution is not-intelligent non-sense, non-beneficial mutation must outnumber beneficial ones, by a very great number
It would be almost impossible not to find them in the fossil record.
Think again and clean your brain from this BS.

Didn't read the whole thing, but I did read some particular bits:
- mutations arise primarily from the father zygote, given that the father produces millions of sperm per day, the odds of some error are greater than on the mother's side, who produced all the zygotes before birth... this checks out with something I read recently that stated that there are more autistic kids from older fathers than from younger ones. IF you're over 35, you have a higher tendency to produce an autistic child than if you're 20.
- Deleterious mutations are removed from the population in about 80 generations.
- On the other hand, there's this gem "In [...] people, recessive mutations may persist for thousands of generations. "
It's not about belief, it's actual research... as old as 1994.
