Evolution not so random as previously thought?
A new discovery of Princeton scientists investigating a particular group of proteins that help cells burn energy found evidence that evolution may not be as random as previously thought. The group of proteins called the electron transport chain which regulates cell energy were discovered to be actively correcting imbalances caused by artificial mutations in order to ensure proper operation(Mutations that break down the functional systems are being kept in check). Mathematical analysis has revealed these corrections are taking place all the time suggesting that evolution is being directed. In other words organisms are evolving ways to better evolve.
