Natural philosophy and macro-evolution

[patricius79]

since all organisms descended from the same organisms through one phylogenic tree, would natural philosophy say that all human genetic information was essentially present in first organisms?

I’m no evolutionary biologist, so I can only answer briefly. That’s not what the theory of evolution says. New genetic information is a result of mutation (in the form of gene insertions, duplications, etc.) So early organisms did not have all the genetic information of humans. This is never stated by the theory of evolution.

then what were the efficient causes of the genetic information of humans?

I know that physical science doesn’t say that all human genetics were present in teh first organisms.

I was asking whether natural philosophy shows that
