This is assuming that evolving at 1 million times faster than other life is actually possible or advantageous. There may actually be a reason why faster != better.

Of course there is a point to evolution, which is to utilise the environment to preserve your genes and pass them onto the next generation.

Evolve to slow though and you die, evolve too fast, you’re no longer compatible with your environment and also die.



if "evolving too fast" worked out worse for survival than "evolving more slowly" then it wasn't evolving at all

evolution always wins, by definition - whatever wins, that was evolution

that is just a concrete mechanism to evolution, albeit a special one for humans as we're a part of it


Bacteria can reproduce in about 30 minutes, I think. That's in the order of 1,000,000 times faster than a human.

As I'm not a biologist, I would only be guessing if that corresponds to evolving 1 million times faster, or if the relative complexity of the organisms makes it either more or less than that.
