That the changes are small and slow doesn’t render them insignificant, because they’re cumulative.Then there are extant species like the horseshoe crab, which have accumulated much genetic variation over vast periods of time, but are otherwise morphologically and reproductively the same.
And, based on what you know about evolution via natural selection, can you think of a reason why that would be? Can you not see that the same basic principles of selection pressure that explain cumulative change and speciation in some populations also explain a lack there of in others? You seem like a smart guy, John. Come on, think.
