Left to themselves, things tend to fall apart and reach a state of chaos. Consequently, where chromosome and gene mutations occur, they are almost always detrimental, rather than beneficial. I rather like the way Isaac Asimov puts it: ‘As far as we know, all changes are in the direction of increasing entropy, of increasing disorder, of increasing randomness, of running down.’1 Beginning at the top—culturally, intellectually and physically, the race has degenerated.
