This was the great gap in Darwin’s theory, and he never filled it. The problem was serious because, according to the prevailing belief in blending inheritance, variation should decrease, not increase.

So that a species evolves in a predetermined direction by some kind of internal drive, without the aid of natural selection.

They supposed that such mutant forms constituted new species and thus believed that natural selection was not necessary to account for the origin of species. The last influential mutationist was Richard Goldschmidt
