Scientists at the University of Toronto (Canada) have conducted a study of gene mutations and argue that the long-standing negative view of mutations is fundamentally wrong.
Indeed, according to experts, deviations from generally accepted norms do not always mean developmental pathology. Often, changes in genes can give an impetus to the development of a species, the acquisition of new opportunities and block the development of diseases.
Scientists are studying the possibilities of gene mutations to prevent diseases and are trying to find an answer to the question of why single such processes do not become massive.
It is not known why some people, due to gene mutation, are exposed to diseases, while others, on the contrary, acquire good health and longevity.
The answers to these questions can clarify some aspects of human evolution. Also, experts urge people in whose genes mutations have been identified not to despair: if you are healthy and feel great, despite the identified changes in genes, then it is quite possible that you can become the ancestor of further evolutionary changes in humans.
