𓀐 @Eo+ugShR: I don't really get evolution. I mean I read this book, very interesting, but I don't really understand why every animal isn't intelligent. It seems like the most useful trait by far and one that would be easily selected for since smarter creatures would have a better survival rate. Random mutations of things like air-breathing lungs and wings would be way harder to select for. Let's talk wings for a second. Birds come from reptiles, I can buy that. But an animal can only fly if it has a lot goi…

>>25594433 >Can you explain this more? Simple: Genetics don't actually function as blueprints that dictate morphology, they're really just protein factories cells interact with. This metaphor is outdated and will likely be abandoned entirely within future paradigm shifts. >And also what do you think of ideas like mutation load? Doesn't reject the notion that DNA is still interacting with more fundamental systems of higher organizing principles in biology. https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…
