-I've always spoken of evolution in terms of population; my comments on offspring only make sense if that's the case. Is it even possible to talk about the number of offspring and not be talking about a population?
-If mutations were in the gene pool to start, then you're starting too late.
-Every individual is represented by the gene pool. As such, the emergence of any mutation in any individual constitutes an increase in its frequency in the gene pool, irrespective of population size. But I agree most novel mutations tend to drift out not long after appearing.
