Chernobyl, the site of the deadliest nuclear accident of all time, should become a World Heritage site, Ukranian officials say.

But what does the nuclear accident that happen on 26 April 1986  tell us

It shows that mutations that can be construed as mechanics of evolution. However, mutatiots are spelling errors. Misspellings do not cure the text and DNA copying errors are not inherited by anyone. For example, DNA repair mechanisms keep most errors at bay. But the nuclear accident brought dead to many people.

Mutation controls in cells tend to make things very awkward for Darwinian evolution
