We Are All Mutants...

[Determinist]

ScienceDaily (June 13, 2011) —
Each one of us receives approximately 60 new mutations in our genome from our parents.
This striking value is reported in the first-ever direct measure of new mutations coming from mother and father in whole human genomes.


Although most of our variety comes from reshuffling of genes from our parents, new mutations are the ultimate source from which new variation is drawn.
