  IAN: Death and birth ensure that a continually new
  set of DNA combinations rise to prominence, which
  increases the chance of mutations, which increases
  the chance of a new species evolving with just the
  right something to survive a sudden change in the
  environment. Well, that seems plausible anyway.
