Index Entry
Inbreeding:
"Inbreeding concentrates special-capability genes,
but only at the expense of losing general adaptability, i.e.,
the ability of the species to cope with the infrequently
occurring large, surprising and hostile events of the
environment melange, while prospering-- only temporarily–
during the long intervals of innocuous, high-frequency,
low-magnitude, environmental changes."
