   Q2. You say "Major innovations are rare", but these are the driver of   
   macroevolution. But how do these "major innovations" occur via many   
   small steps?   
      
   A. This is the right pressure point. If major innovations are both rare   
   and essential for macroevolution, then a purely verbal appeal to “many   
   small steps” is insufficient. The question becomes:   
      
   What is the mechanism by which qualitatively new biological capacities   
   arise via quantitatively small genetic changes, without collapsing   
   fitness along the way?   
      
   Below is the modern evolutionary answer, stated mechanistically, not   
   rhetorically...
