&gt; He said: “What I think this study shows is that it’s more than just numbers. The impacts that people have, we’re literally changing the anatomy of animals.”<p>Isn&#x27;t that a bit like saying, for every soldier that has lost a limb while in service, and survives, is going to pass on a mutated gene that produces humans that are born without arms?<p>Which suggests that these mutations are based upon psychological distress, and that the animals are choosing their genetic evolution...<p>That&#x27;s fascinating, and leaves a lot of scope for a future evolution of humans, simply by applying the mind!<p>Well I guess that&#x27;s what they meant when they said &quot;mind over matter&quot;
