Very, very interesting. Evolution has been trying things for billions of years, and chances are it exploits all kinds of very subtile properties of matter. It's probably found all kinds of uses for quantum effects too.
It would be a rather bad thing if this were the case, though what I'd want to know is: what's the required dose? Radiation diminishes with the square of the distance, so do you have to be right next to the emitter? Or will just having WiFi within, say, 10ft do it?
That being said, there is a solution: use lower frequencies. The frequencies used by WiFi are very high largely because all the lower frequencies are being squatted on. In particular, many devices uses the 2.4ghz band because this is the wide-open "water absorption band" that is only lightly regulated by the FCC. This band also turns out to be the band most likely to be biologically active, as it resonates with the hydrogen bonds in water.
