Does this say anything about the limits of purely natural evolution? I think so. Even if other bacteria species have made the jump and developed resistance to an anti-biotic (at the cost of reduced fitness otherwise) this one seems to have hit on a hard biological limit which unguided evolution cannot move it past. Surely this is not the only such hard limit in earth's living things. If this organism can't make this jump, how likely is it that the same mechanisms can cause a deer-like animal to develop into various types of whales in probably much fewer generations and far less tries?
