I find mutation facinating. When I passively think of the word "mutation," my mind somehow always wanders to bacteria that split into two as a form of reproduction, or more usually, X-men. Even though somewhere in the back of my mind I know that humans themselves mutate, I always considered the word an unnatural, "this-doesn't-happen-to-humans" kind of term, but the last class where we talked about "kinks" in DNA and RNA replication made me realize that humans are constantly mutating--evolving--even as I type this. It's kind of weird.
