Genesis

Dr. Chandra Suresh developed a hypothesis that humans are undergoing a new stage of evolution. In particular, some people have genetic changes that alter brain development in such a way that they manifest unusual powers. His son Mohinder scoffs at his father's findings, preferring to believe humans are not the top of the evolutionary ladder. He argues for cockroaches instead. However, after his father's death, Mohinder reviews Chandra's research with a skeptic's eye, and begins to unravel a mystery that Mohinder believes to be the reason behind his father's murder.

Don't Look Back

Mohinder ponders, "Is it evolution that takes us by the hand? Does science point our way?" Mohinder discovers an algorithm in his father's computer, leading him to believe that his father found human beings who were evolving in unpredictable and extraordinary ways.

One Giant Leap

Mohinder muses, "When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost. ... This force, evolution, is not sentimental." Peter Petrelli shows his brother Nathan a copy of the book by Mohinder's father Chandra Suresh, called Activating Evolution. Mohinder finds a copy of this same book in Sylar's apartment.
