Evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg evaluates whether population genetics actually supports the dramatic macroevolutionary claims of the modern synthesis. Focusing on whale evolution—long cited as a prime example of macroevolution—Sternberg outlines the mathematical and temporal constraints that challenge this narrative. Given long generation times, small population sizes, and the abrupt appearance of fully aquatic features in the fossil record within a narrow window of 5 million years or less, standard population genetics calculations struggle to account for the necessary multi-gene adaptations.
