"By demonstrating the evolution of a hyper-mutable locus, we show that adaptation is not just about surviving in the present but also about refining the ability to adapt in the future."
The results challenge the long-held view that evolution operates without foresight."

More experimental evidence that mutations can be non-random: natural selection can favor bacterial mutations that generate lineages capable of rapid adaptation, increasing likelihood of survival in changing environments. #evosky
