"Now, to look at the human genome project and the interexon and intergenic DNA, it is clear that the human genome has more such stuff than any other organism in which I am familiar. Does this mean that there is less room for homo sapiens evolution? This might be a good conversation for a group of us geeks after the half barrel is tapped."

Are you saying that mutation/evolution must come from a necessary amount of random genetic material? In layman's terms, once all DNA is necessary to encode proteins in a functioning being, there would be no more evolution, because there would be no random element left? (Viz., unless the length of the material itself evolves or mutates....)

I'm only a lurker-amongst-geeks, but what a fascinating concept (which I probably misunderstood).
