There are a small minority of scientists who believe in Accelerated Evolution but find the abilities that Dr. Burke theorizes to be far fetched. The evolutionary jumps are expected to be too wide and too dramatic in a direction that is unneeded for the prorogation of the race or survival of the individual. The mutations would more likely begin with the removal of useless organs or the evolution of those organs into use. The appendix may have its purpose revealed as evolution adapts the body into a more perfect form.
