While proponents claim that it is the natural selection of those mutations that actually makes us winners in this cosmic game of dice, it still…..

Unfortunately, the first step in this process is fraught with difficulty. Mutations are mistakes in genetic replication. The cell even recognizes this fact and has mechanisms designed to repair them. This raises two important questions; first,…..
