Instead, they argued, a fortuitous mutation in the human brain may have triggered an explosion in human creativity 50, 000 years ago, leading to a sudden appearance of personal ornaments, skilfully-crafted art, novel tools and weapons.

Again, there will be experts on hand to tell the leaders about rising resistance to antibiotics, about the way a hyperconnected world can quickly spread pandemics, or about concerns about how it is foolhardy to be complacent in a world where genetic mutation often outpaces human innovation.

By adding a solution that releases both the plant and the human DNA from the paper, the geneticist can then analyze the DNA for his or her chosen purpose--for example, to look for a mutation in the human DNA sequence--with the rice DNA sitting alongside harmlessly and acting as an ID tag.

This, some scientists believe, leads to new illnesses formed by genetic mutation crossing the species barrier and entering the human population.

The re-arrangement or sequence of the nucleotides on the DNA ladder may result in a mutation that leads to an inherited disease, which only affects maybe 2% of the human population.
