It's not evolution.I used to share Huggy's outlook on evolution - not for dogmatic reasons - but simply due to an over-simplified and distorted view of how chromosomes and reproduction work. It was hard for me to visualize how an individual organism with a longer or shorter chromosome could mate with a "normal" organism, and I was even more confused about the mechanism that would cause the number of chromosomes to change. As I delved into the details, I began to realize that chromosome and DNA are much more fault-tolerant than I originally thought. That gave me more confidence that evolution could explain everything.
