What's new is his claim that meltdown affects sexual populations. I should check the evolution of sex literature, I'm sure they (Sally Otto and Nick Barton, amongst others) showed that it doesn't happen. In his book Sanford ignores the recent evolution of sex literature.

Indeed - hasn't it turned into Amoeba dubya?
Anyway, remember that Sanford is a YEC, so millions of years aren't relevant for him.
