- 15980. Accumulating mutations
- Mutations are the grist of evolution, and have accumulated in our DNA over time. When populations separate, each group accumulates their own unique set of DNA mutations.

- 15617. DNA nucleotide mutation
- A single DNA nucleotide undergoes a "point" mutation, changing an A to a T.

- 15608. Human/Neandertal/Chimp mutation evoluton tree
- Mutations in our DNA can be used to trace the relationships between different populations and species.

- Some mutations are starting points for evolution, others are responsible for disease.
