Argues mutation is a biologically directed, computational process that combines information from multiple loci rather than pure accident, supported by molecular and comparative data: poly de novo gene (785 nt) counters simple chance origin, transposable elements helped form >1,500 genes in placental endometrium, meiotic hotspots arise from combinatorial binding, and CpG changes account for 25% of point mutations; recurring malaria‑resistance alleles (e.g. HbS arose ≥4 times) and repeated alpha thalassemia deletions fit nonrandom mechanisms.
