ok i dont mean to be a part of all that discussion.. but.. what is a mutant..what is mutation? there are good and bad mutations , i suggest you read the article in wikipedia its really interesting ..for example the fact that 8000 years ago people already had domesticated cows but could not digest their milk.. only after a mutation (most) people became tolerant to lactose
there is a difference between the mutation in the scientific way.. and ..growing a third eye and 3 arms
its hard to say if its mutation or "adaption" like people from regions like nepal that lies very high and the air pressure is different than on sea level they can travel the mountains without breathing problems while tourists sometimes need oxygen masks .what about africans whose hair is very thick and their skin dark to endure the burning sun... is that mutation or adaption?
if you hyphotetically speaking live on a planet where its necessary to wear a breathing mask and googles your eyes and lungs will devolve after a while.. its like a person who has been forced to stay in bed for a long while he will have problems trying to walk again without training
