Genetic Scar Tissue - The fall of man had far reaching effects.  One of those being that mankind, that was created perfect now was fallen and imperfect.  Part of that imperfection has to be genetic and the study of "genetic irregularities", "junk genes" and other topics may be insightful in understanding the implications genetically of that fall.

One of the aspects of genetics that makes this so interesting is what could be called “Genetic Resiliency”, or the ability of the species to stay a species. Regardless of the genetic copying problems, the genetic junk genes and the many mutations undergone, species seem to want to stay basically the same over time. As David Berlinski states in the "Icons of Evolution" video "we should have far more… plasticity" genetically if Darwin's ideas are true.  It is this impervious nature of species to change that makes the many mistakes in genetic reproduction such an interesting topic.On the one hand a imperiousness to change and on the other a partially broken mechanism.  The future of genetic research will provide some very interesting information.
