Everywhere I’ve researched has said that radiation just burns, but every time I look for images of what it does it completely contradicts this statement by showing me radioactive mutants… so where do they come from?
In: Earth Science
The kind of mutation you’re referring to is a very slow process that plays out over multiple generations. Mutant fish and the like, are the result of many life cycles with exposure to radiation. On an individual level, any single organism is most likely to die to the effects of extreme radiation exposure long before… growing a third eye or whatever.
