Researchers have found that, among pairs of mammals of the same species, the DNA of those living in warmer climates changes at a faster rate.

These mutations - where one letter of the DNA code is substituted for another - are a first step in evolution.

So are people from warmer climes more evolved than people from colder climes?

It would explain Northerners I suppose.

Must explain why me and my fellow Jerseymen are the most evolved of all the Brits!

(Doesn't explain the French, though... Meh. Nature has its anomalies.)
