David C. Read, reviewing Richard Milton's "Shattering The Myths Of
Darwinism" (1997), writes:



<snip inanity>


As Milton points out in Chapter 14, "Of Cabbages and Kings," no one
has ever observed a spontaneous inheritable genetic mutation that
resulted in a changed physical characteristic, aside from a small
group of well-known and usually fatal genetic defects. A beneficial
spontaneous genetic mutation, though necessary to the Neo-Darwinian
theory of evolution, remains a hypothetical event.

This is pure poppy***. I myself am fortunate enough to embody two
physically obvious mutations: Both of my little fingers are bent at the
last two joints in the plane of the hand, so the tip is pointing towards
the ring finger at about 40 degrees. I inherited this from my mother,
who got it from her father. I don't know when the mutation originally
appeared, but it sure as hell is inheritable. The second mutation is
novel in my family: the second and third toes of both feet are webbed
past the last joint. I don't have any children, so I can't prove this
is inheritable, but it certainly has changed a physical characteristic.
Both of these mutations are, I suppose, neutral, though I have
discovered that the bent little fingers make holding a beverage can much
easier and more secure.
