Will changing the human genome affect the evolution of humans in the future?
Human genome is a complicated system, where millions and millions of genes (DNA) exist, so “changing genome” is a very general concept. Therefore, it would depend on “how” and “where” you change the genome. However, when changed properly, it can have positive impact. For example, it can may improve the neuro -impulse, which can make humans react to something faster, or can give humans stronger bones, and faster working brains, etc. Genome is a whole set of DNA, or genome sequence present in species. Selective breeding is when people selects one characteristic of species (gene) and breeds it by selecting the animals that have the characteristic they want. Gene therapy is curing of specific disease by changing gene sequence. Transgenics are organisms whose gene sequences have been changed.
