I would suggest that we are something slightly more special than mutants. Since that suggests a reliance on pure chance. Well lifeform. Do you feel lucky? “We’re All Mutants:”

In the short-term at least. Sadly, of course, most of these mutations probably don’t drive evolution forward successfully but lead to some form of illness. In the short-term at least.

The mutations and natural selection. The speed of evolution is determined by thede 2 factors. There are people for instance who do not have wisdom teeth but because there Is now real benefit to it that mutation is unlikely to become prevelant any time soon; probably staying at roughly the same prevelence.

I mean ask yourself where the blame and guilt is and then compare that to suicide statistics. Of course it's actually the mother bearing the child and who could argue without a doubt that she is clearly the most responsible for any screw ups.
