Greetings !
I realize that evolution goes on due to random mutations
of individuals in the spicies and then survival of
the fittest along a sufficiently long period of time.
My question is, and please go easy on me 'cause
I know very little about this stuff, is it all random like
I discribed or is there a certain feedback also involved
in terms of a single individual from the environment.
I mean if one organ is used more than it's supposed to
and another one is used less by a single creature would
it somehow provide a feedback to the genes or is it all
just random and separated by generations of creatures ?
(I guess not since each gene is supposedly responsible of
a whole organ or whole parts of an organ and there's
supposedly nothing internal to change in it plus you'll
have to change other genes - organs for the relevant one
to evolve accordingly in the next creature, but I was just
wondering whether something like that is known and/or possible.)
Thanks !
Live long and prosper.
