dendrology and carbon dating overlaid with classic archaeological chronologies and references to later histories. (ie, the usual way)

My thread is being hijacked. At least I'm getting a chuckle.
Where this is going is toward an evironmentally induced mutation, which epigenetic changes can enter and make a part of the species viable and allowing it to survive long enough for the eventual genetic mutation.
That's in only one area whereas; the rest of the species, having not been exposed to this change would remain the same.
At some point the dna structure would become so different as to prevent reproduction between the two now different species.

well back to random mutation.

Okay. Is there any way of quantifying epigenetic change. So I can work it into the equation.

Okay.
Aside: It seems like there is some genetic barrier which prevents our current evolving populations from evolving to a different order.
