I don't see any interest answering this question. Mutations are random, whatever causes it. We already know many causes. From a study of the individual, you cannot identify the cause anyway. Still doesn't make sense to me.

    I doubt anybody's trying to answer the question. Sounds like he was just explaining to people that it could have happened for various reasons and we don't really know the specific reason why, and the paper decided to use it as a sound bite.
