Oh for fucks sake.
Mostly mutations are not beneficial or even have much of an effect but when they do there are processes that act on them making them.
A really potent positive mutation is fairly rare which was why initially it was slow, but these days evolution is mainly repurposing stuff that already exists. like the bones in the ear were once the jaw bones of plated fish.
