TRANSPOSON PROBLEM. “There was a time—just a few decades ago—when scientists believed genes were fixed and evolution was linear. Standard theory of natural selection did not account for the possibility of complex organisms suddenly acquiring genes from other species. But that model began collapsing in the 1970s, when transposons, colloquially known as ‘jumping genes’ were discovered.”
