How does evolutionary theory connect with quantum mechanics?


Quantum mechanics is the scientific principal that explains how matter behaves and its interaction with energy on a very small scale, atoms and atomic particles. Evolution is the change across generations, having these changes down to the molecular level. Both Quantum mechanics and evolution are cause of observation to prove their theories, mathematical or biological. Everything and everyone contain atoms that consist of neutrons, electrons and protons, this includes our molecular being. Our bodies are made of atoms which in turn form the molecules that make up our DNA. So if a single atom is changed or altered, the same will be for the rest, causing a chain reaction in our world or just in the formation of that one molecule. We would not know if the altering of that molecule would alter anything at all if it was just an atomic hiccup, unless that change could be observed at a grater scale in the cascade of changes that had set off. That is where quantum mechanics comes in and analyses how and or why it occurred and how it changed the host.  

They both contain change to the host, an evolutionary change according to their respective theories. Quantum mechanics uses the string theory in the change, so the change consists of the direction the vibrating string changes. Just how the strumming of different cords in an instrument a change in the rhythm, tone or duration of the note could change the form and how the string is traveling. In evolution these changes are believed to be happening during DNA replication.  During replication mutation of the base sequences change to represents a completely different amino acid which in turn produces a different protein. Giving the creature, like the strings different direction, a different characteristic.
