  • I was taught over and over again that the accumulation of random mutations led to evolutionary change - led to new species. I believed it until I looked for evidence.

  • You're only delaying the inevitable. I have the Tacitus. I am invincible. The Tacitus told me of Tiberium missiles, of invulnerable flying ships, of real-time genetic mutation. More than alien. More than human! The next step in our evolution as a species!

  • There's almost no food that isn't genetically modified. Genetic modification is the basis of all evolution. Things change because our planet is subjected to a lot of radiation, which causes DNA damage, which gets repaired, but results in mutations, which create a ready mixture of plants that people can choose from to improve agriculture.

    "An Advocate for Science Diplomacy" by Claudia Dreifus, www.nytimes.com. August 18, 2008.
  • The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive.

  • Without equity, pandemic battles will fail. Viruses will simply recirculate, and perhaps undergo mutations or changes that render vaccines useless, passing through the unprotected populations of the planet.

    "'Contagion' is part reality, part fantasy, totally possible" by Laurie Garrett, www.cnn.com. September 13, 2011.
  • First of all, many human diseases are influenced by, if not caused by mutations in genes.

  • I suspect any worries about genetic engineering may be unnecessary. Genetic mutations have always happened naturally, anyway.

  • Every batch of sperm represents an opportunity for genetic typos - called de novo mutations - to be passed on. A 20-year-old man and woman will each pass on about 20 de novo mutations to a baby they conceive. By the time the couple is 40, a woman's total has remained at 20, while a man's has jumped to 65 - and it keeps climbing from there.

  • We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.

    Fun   Freedom   Survival  
  • Our lack of community is intensely painful. A TV talk show is not community. A couple of hours in a church pew each Sabbath is not community. A multinational corporation is neither a human nor a community, and in the sweatshops, defiled agribusiness fields, genetic mutation labs, ecological dead zones, the inhumanity is showing. Without genuine spiritual community, life becomes a struggle so lonely and grim that even Hillary Clinton has admitted "it takes a village".

    David James Duncan (2007). “God Laughs & Plays: Churchless Sermons in Response to the Preachments of the Fundamentalist Right”, p.99, Triad Institute, Inc.
  • Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.

    Bertrand Russell (1985). “Contemplation and Action, 1902-14”, p.69, Psychology Press
  • In agriculture, people have taken wild plants that can't be eaten by people - and turned them into wonderful food sources. And that's because genomes can change, and people working with plants have picked mutations. Mutations are nothing more than genetic changes.

  • Only cells that had been transformed by a virus or a genetic mutation had the potential to become immortal.

    Rebecca Skloot (2011). “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”, p.161, Pan Macmillan
  • The accumulation of genetic mutations were touted to be enough to change one species to another….No. It wasn’t dishonesty. I think it was wish fulfillment and social momentum. Assumptions, made but not verified, were taught as fact.

  • This seems highly likely, especially as it has been shown that in several systems mutations affecting the same amino acid are extremely near together on the genetic map.

    "The Realm of Science" by David Rosenberg, Volume 18, Touchstone Publishing Company, (p. 171), 1972.
  • If you ever meet a guy and you fall in love with him, but because of some weird genetic mutation he doesn't seem to return the feeling?... Wear that dress.
