Consider the life span of an E. coli generation, in a lab optimal condition, they replicate in about 20 min, the mutation rate is much accerlerated and accumulated over the 500 million year span.
And that isn’t even news since it (what ever the heck it is) was done in 2008.
Meanwhile, all over England, people are laughing hysterically at the GIT institute.
