Modern evolutionists teach that as species spread and became isolated, natural selection chose the ones with gene mutations that made them capable of surviving in their new environment.

Edward Long, a planter who was to write History of Jamaica, observed: “When we reflect on the nature of these men, and their dissimilarity to the rest of mankind, must we not conclude that they are of a different species?”
UEdward Long, umnini-masimi owayeza kubhala incwadi ethi History of Jamaica, wathi: “Xa siqwalasela indlela abayiyo aba bantu, nokungafani kwabo nolunye uluntu, asimele na sigqibe ngelithi balolohlobo olwahlukileyo?”

Similarly, evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould wrote: “We are here because one odd group of fishes had a peculiar fin anatomy that could transform into legs for terrestrial creatures; . . . because a small and tenuous species, arising in Africa a quarter of a million years ago, has managed, so far, to survive by hook and by crook.
Ngokufanayo, isazi ngendaleko uStephen Jay Gould sabhala: “Silapha ngenxa yokuba elinye iqela leentlanzi elalahlukile kwamanye amaqela lalinamaphiko angaqhelekanga awayenokuguquka abe yimilenze yezidalwa eziphila emhlabeni; . . . ngenxa yokuba uhlobo oluthile lwezilwanyana oluncinane nolungomelelanga, olwavela eAfrika kwiminyaka eyikota yesigidi eyadlulayo, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, luye lwakwazi ukuphila ngamabona-ndenzile.

They wonder, ‘If small changes can occur within a species, why should not evolution produce big changes over long periods of time?’
Bazibuza oku, ‘ukuba utshintsho oluncinane lunokwenzeka kwizinto eziphilayo zohlobo olunye, yintoni enokubangela ukuba ukuzivelela kwezinto kungabangeli utshintsho oluphawulekayo emva kwexesha elide?’

If research shows that mutations cannot transform an original species into an entirely new one, then how, exactly, was macroevolution supposed to have taken place?
