Genetic Mutations -- Intro and Conclusion

Introduction:
Genetic mutations occur in all the living animals of Earth, humans included. They can increase the chance of survival or greatly diminish it depending on the surrounding environment. People have influenced the wildlife with their civilization and various forms of pollution while the natural environment has demanded changes in its “only the strong survive” mentality. That’s it isn’t it? Only the strong survive… but are these mutations actually helping or are they weakening a species’ population? Then the problem is, of those beneficial genetic mutations, are the people of this world causing an imbalance with an increase in negative mutations?

Conclusion:
Through all of these studies it is fair to reason that the human impact in the world of mutations has not been a beneficial one. Genetic mutations are heavily influenced on helpful or harmful by their environment, though they are not caused by it. That is, until pollution comes into play, forcing a change in the genes. While most mutations can go either way, in the long run, the majority can be considered beneficial in improving survival chances or weeding out the weaker of animals. Genetic mutations are a part of life, something that cannot be changed. Though, perhaps they can be improved with human action to cut down their own personal, negative impact.
