Adaptive mutation: who's really in the garden?

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that DNA can change in response to biological needs, which contradicts the neo-Darwinian position that mutations occur regardless of biological requirements. The research also indicates that functions associated with plasma transfer are involved in adaptive mutation.
