I have heard(though my memory sometimes plays tricks, so be careful) that there was a theory that explained evolution by blaming the changes in the chromosones on radiation damage. One of the scientists against this theory said that there was not enough damage caused to explain evolution as it apeared. It does seem to explain some of the majior changes in species though. Another wrinkle is that the reduction of ozone in our atmoshere could spell a new wave of change for life in this neiborhood. Anybody else remember the hoopla I think I remember?
