Talk:Macromutation

"However beneficial macromutations have been known to occur. For example the addition of body segments among arthropods may be regarded as a macromutation."
Can you cite evidence that it actually is a macromutation? Or, taking two animals taxonomically closer together, the human has 23 pairs of chromosomes, the chimpanzee 24. Are the genomes the same except that the human is missing one pair? If so, one would expect humans to be occasionally born to chimps, as Down syndrome people are occasionally born to humans. -phma
