That's an interesting thought. Genetics is largely a mixing and copying process with occasional "hallucinations" in the form of transcription errors. Most of these errors result in the termination of the hallucinated code. Hallucinations that damage the termination process result in cancer. In the larger sense of evolution, there's a robust external "review" process. Environmental pressures, predation, and resource availability weed out most of the mistakes and selects the results most likely to succeed.

Well, no.

not even close.
