==Mutation among humanity==

Mutation among [[human]]ity is especially meaningful: as mankind undergoes a long process of evolution into a new, psychic race, the birth of mutant humans accompanies it; and as the metamorphosis slowly approaches its distant conclusion, mutation becomes increasingly common. This constant and random warping of the human gene pool threatens to destroy the human race before it can reach its final form. The only response is to root out those manifesting mutation. There are many Imperial organisations which go about this, some in less sophisticated ways than others.{{cite this}}
 
Human mutants are often terribly misshapen creatures, abominably deviating from the normal human form. On the other hand, not all mutants are degenerated beasts; many only bear a few extraordinary traits setting them apart from the rest of humanity.{{Fn|5}}
