why new combinations of characteristics be advantageous?
As characteristics change and different ones come to the surface, the species is refined to survive in its current environment. In nature, only the most survivable characteristics make it to the next generation leaving those which are a hindrance to die-off.
why new combinations of characteristics be deletrious?
t would be deleterious in a species that is already well-adapted to a very stable environment.
