So is Vorls! Not sure if he's human though! Big Grin

I just think of evolution as change in all living things over time. (Some things die off, some speciate, some remain the same (eg: sharks).
Question? Is it strictly an environmental thing + random mutations? Or is it more complex than that?

It is more complex than that.   For example, unicellular life can have their genes manipukated through lateral gene transfer.   Complex organisms can have their genes manipulated through viral infection.  Mutation and environment were merely two factors that Darwin and other observers could readily see before the maturation of modern molecular genetics.
