Microbes, macrophages, and melanin: a unifying theory of disease as exemplified by cancer by Stacie Z. Berg, Jonathan Berg

“…The SMT does not fit well with Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution in that the same relatively few mutations would occur so frequently and that these mutations would lead to death rather than survival of the fittest. However, it would fit well under the theory of evolution, if we were to look at it from the vantage point of pathogens and their supporting microbial communities colonizing humans and mutating host cells for their own benefit, as it does give them an evolutionary advantage and they are capable of selecting genes to mutate and of inserting their own DNA or RNA into hosts. …”
