I doubt the olfactory complex evolves via simple mutations directly on the receptors, but rather on other dna constructs that can quickly (and badly) replicate

I doubt the olfactory complex evolves via simple mutations directly on the receptors, but rather on other dna constructs that can quickly (and badly) replicate genes like retrotransposons

if anybody could answer questions like that definitely, it would be a great advance. There is fairly strong evidence that olfaction evolution occurs by gene duplication followed by selection.
