Diversity

As it copies itself, once in every billion rungs, there tends to be an error. And what that means is that DNA is, in effect, learning. It’s accumulating new ways of making living organisms because some of those errors work. So DNA’s learning and it’s building greater diversity and greater complexity.

David Christian @ TED2011

Fehler führen zu Vielfalt, zu mehr Komplexität, zu Entwicklung.
