David Page Falling Quotations

We now see that natural selection *is* working to conserve this unpartnered region of the Y, ... If mutations do occur in any of these genes, they don't seem to pass on in the lineage. This is a clear example of how evolution is not just about moving ahead, it's also about not falling behind.

Contrary to the dire predictions that have become popular over the last decade, the sky is *not* falling on the Y. This research clearly demonstrates that natural selection has effectively preserved regions of the Y chromosome that have no mechanisms with which to repair damaged genes.
