Octopuses tweak the RNA in their brains to adjust to warmer and cooler waters
X-MEN:
JEAN (O.S.)
In every organism on Earth there
exists a mutator gene - the X-factor,
as it has come to be known. It is the
basic building block of evolution -
the reason we have evolved from homo
habilus...
JEAN (O.S.) (contíd)
Taking it's cues from the climate,
terrain, various sources of
nourishment, the mutator gene tells
the body when it needs to change to
adapt to a new environment. The
process is subtle, normally taking
thousands of years.
Storm:
Mutation.
lt is the key
to our evolution.
It is how we have evolved from
a single-celled organism...
into the dominant species
on the planet.
This process is slow...
normally taking thousands
and thousands ofyears.
But every
few hundred millennia...
evolution leaps forward.
