ENHANCED GENE HUNTING. “Neutrality enables the organism to better sample the pool of available mutations by being able to discover beneficial mutants without constantly being penalized by the already high frequency of deleterious mutations. Beneficial mutations are hard to come by in a single try, but can become more likely if interspersed by a series of neutral ones. In essence, neutral mutations allow organisms to buy more time in their quest for discovering survivability-enhancing traits.”
