Why is mutation a slow process?

Evolution is a slow process. Mutation is a fast process. De novo mutation is really a fast process. It can occur in microseconds to minutes. However, it always occurs within the lifetime of the cell that has the de novo mutation. De novo mutations make new genes that hypothetically last forever. read more

However, it always occurs within the lifetime of the cell that has the de novo mutation. De novo mutations make new genes that hypothetically last forever. Sometimes these genes are incorrectly called mutations. read more

Because evolution is a natural process that is driven by thermodynamic reason and controlled by thermodynamic process; and thermodynamic process has its own pace which cannot be hurried by human efforts but can be slowed down by human interference. It is a natural law that human interference into natural process only causes disorder. read more
