I'm not in agreement with your use of concepts here. Neither evolution nor genetic mutation is a mean of transfer. They are both a measure (and possible cause) of change between transfers, not a source of transfer.

The source of transfer between humans, i.e. human inheritance, is either genes or culture (or divine intervention for those inclined to hold to such a notion). Not evolution and not mutation.
