Evolution

Evolution is a good thing. It's better than God snapping his fingers and creating everything as is. Before you get mad, let me explain why, because I'm pretty sure when you think about it this way, you'll agree, even if you don't change your beliefs.

Evolution exists because everything is constantly changing. Natural selection cancels out the useless or flawed genes, even if it means the creature has to go through life a virgin. It also allows the most able to spread its genes to gain the upper hand. Survival of the fittest. That was my incredibly simple breakdown of evolution. I realize factors are being left out, but for this post, none of that stuff matters.

Now lets think about this for a second. Think about the possibilities. Humans don't pick their mate solely on the ability to pass on their genes. Granted, we tend to be naturally attracted to those with a healthy physique, but it doesn't mean we always breed in that direction. Having more than four fingers and a thumb is a recessive trait. That means that if we breed it with something dominant, odds are against us regular numbered finger people. Yet I don't know anyone with more than four fingers and a thumb. See, we ignore physical traits based on one other factor; personality.

What if we didn't?

Think of the possibilities. What if a mutant baby was born with gills, angel wings coming out its back, it could spit fire as it flew, it had a tail and talons on its feet to clasp onto things. A flying fish dragon harpy monkey! Imagine if you could interbreed just a couple of those genes into your family. Wouldn't you want your kids to have gills? What if you could give him/her wings. Would you? What if you could interbreed the chameleon effect. Your kid could change colour based on his environment. Wouldn't that be great!

It may be too late for us, according to Darwin, but hell, I'm willing to breed with Chameleon-Woman in order to give my kids the simple hope of having the gene.
