| Dr.Henry_Killinger said: Good point, I hadn't considered that. Although, I don't know if specicition would even take thousands of years in some cases unregulated, because Allopatric speciation, speciation by geographic isolation, has occured in within a couple of generations, mainly this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allopatric_speciation#Genesis_of_reproductive_barriers. And increased radiation could easily lead to a lot more mutations. But even if Diversity should be preseved, its hard to explain how diversity can be both encouraged while simultaneously maintaining the sturucter of genetic code, when the nanomachines prevent the very thing, mutations, that the process of diversifying consists of. I also assumed that the nanomachines would also act as a buffered immune system eliminating any kind of pathogens, if the environment wasn't completely sterile in the first place. |
Interesting. Good point.
