Do Mutations Drive Evolution?
Manage episode 425726073 series 90015
This week we’re looking at icons of evolution. And one of those icons is the supposed driving force of evolution—mutations, mistakes in our DNA. Now most mutations are very harmful and cause disease and death. Some go unnoticed.
Only a select few are beneficial and only under very specific conditions. Now these few sort-of beneficial mistakes can’t account for the remarkable variety and intricacy we see in creation. And they don’t create brand-new functional information—and you need that for evolution to occur!
Mutations just corrupt already existing information.
