Random evolution

RE: Random evolution

Ever hear of a little thing called natural selection. Individual mutations may be random (hence why we get a laryngeal nerve which loops around on itself before going back to the heart, or breath through the same tube we eat through), but over time the selection pressures of the environment around (climate, geography, predators, fellow compeditors for the same food &c) cause the mutations which are beneficial on the whole to take hold within a population (mainly because beneficial mutations tend to make an individual live longer, hence more opportunities to sire young'uns, hence pass on the beneficial mutations) over the course of generations.

But, then you know all this because this is, what, the fifth thread you've made asking the same question?
