not. Therefore, any given cell will be eliminated long before it has
time to perform its task in a functional manner together with other
cells. All this clearly shows that if both mechanisms—mutation and
natural selection—are operative, then evolution cannot possibly
come about.
The Japanese scientist Susomo Ohno elucidates this with vari-
ous calculations in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences:

Assuming the spontaneous mutation rate to be generous 10 per base
pair per year and also assuming no negative interference by natural
selection, it still takes 10 million years to undergo 1% change in DNA
base sequences. It follows that 6-10 million years in the evolutionary
time scale is but a blink of an eye. The Cambrian explosion denoting
the almost simultaneous emergence of nearly all the extant phy-
la of the Kingdom Animalia within the time span of 6-10 million
years can’t possibly be explained by mutational divergence of in-
