BEYOND DARWIN. “These new findings, along with those from other hybrid incompatibility genes, suggest something that Darwin could never have imagined. In particular, genetic conflicts — involving selfish transposons, repetitive DNAs, drive elements and so forth— rather than good old-fashioned ecological adaptation could drive the divergence that in turn gives rise to hybrid incompatibilities and, consequently, to species differentiation.”
