Absolutely wrong. Evolutionary theory has to take a back seat to highly quantitative population genetics. If you do not know what “effective population size” means then you should watch from the side lines. I think I am a respectable quantitative geneticist. I do not use the term myself but I have no fundamental distaste for the idea of junk DNA. It is inevitable given our constant war with viruses that want to highjack our genomes.
