Just something I was thinking about last night. The Doctor surmised that what Paris became was a far-in-the-future stage of human evolution. Since evolution is driven by natural selection adapting to changes in environment how did Paris' DNA know what to change him into?

That's not even how evolution would actually work according to the theory.
It's enviornmental...and highly varriable...one wouldn't turn into the same thing someone else would become.
Secondly Evolution can never happen in one creature. That sort of transformation is purely mutation.

Why the fudge would humans turn into salamanders?
Does Q know this?
Q: "You've the potential to become so much more."
Picard: "You mean, become noncoporeal and ominpotent, like the Q?"
Q: "No, I meant becoming amphibians. Ha-ha...'become like the Q.' As if!"

That's how I felt when I first saw the episode. I thought "THIS is what the Q are afraid Humans will become?!"
