Yet that quantum events were accepted to be somewhat relevant in mutations (maybe is, maybe is not - I really do not understand much of quantum physics, but what seems to me is that is not necessary to go down to the quantum level to understand mutations), I simply can’t see how come they would be adaptative just because of that.
It’s far more probable, if directed adaptative mutations do exist, that they’re controlled by the cell in a molecular level rather than in the quantum level.
Quantum mechanics is a great source of raw material for inventing all the sorts of weird, new-age-like stuff...
