Yikes this thread is somethin.

Just a little interesting tidbit on mutation to stir things up.

Rates of mutation actually vary throughout areas of the genome. For instance, in the region that codes for your immune system the rate of mutations is much higher. This is because your immune system needs to be highly adaptable in order to continually protect you from new diseases.
