Well, it's a curiosity. I was reading through one of the Friends of Humanity websites, and perusing a particular essay from an "expert in the field" who's trying to use Mendellian genetics to show how mutants will eventually replace humans as the majority of the population.
It's obvious that two baseline humans can produce a mutant child. That's most of us.
A mutant and a human can produce mutant children, or baseline humans like Dani's son Billy.
I wonder if there's ever been a case of two mutants producing a baseline human child. Because if not, then mathematically, assuming equal rates of reproduction among mutants and humans, it's completely possible that in time, mutants will outnumber non-mutants.
Of course, assuming a 25-year generation, we're looking at a timeline of centuries.
