The topic wasn't new or shocking. Humans had just gotten the mana, and their bodies had yet to evolve around it. The sole fact that they needed additional organs to manipulate it highlighted that massive flaw.

Of course, the Global Army was doing anything in its power to fix that, but tinkering with the very foundation of a species wasn't easy. Also, there were few viable methods, and even those that could accelerate the evolutionary process were rarely safe or effective.

Ideally, humans could wait to experience natural mutations, but greed was a powerful drive. Besides, they had the tools to trigger those transformations, so nothing could stop them from experimenting.

Still, at least on paper, the results had been lackluster, with one exception. Khan didn't only embrace the Nak's element and mutations. His body had also transformed, reaching peaks humankind had never seen.
