Color - someone's baking bodies

Posted in color

or Another take on the dope on humans

Good quote in David Rakoff's interview of Matt Ridley, author of Nature Via Nurture, in the May/June issue of Seed:

Q: What do you mean when you write that the genome is 'a recipe for baking a body, not making a body'?

There's still a view out there that a genome is a blueprint, a map of the body that tells you where to put each molecule. The engineering analogy simply doesn't work because biological systems are grown -- a process rather more like cooking than it is construction. The key difference, in my view, is the presence of a fourth dimension. A recipe has a time element that a blueprint never does.


That's right! I try to tell people that whenever I'm in this type of discussion. Also interesting to consider the development of a body in utero -- it's well known that in animals that are born in litters, each individual's location within within the womb has a very large effect on its development and health after it's born. No to reason to believe that other gestational factors wouldn't affect those animals or other ones that are generally born one-by-one, like humans. So there is a fair amount of 'nurture' that is commonly overlooked going on in the womb.

Ridley also says something I say all the time, so he must be right about it:

Q: [The chicken-and-egg debate is one] that no one over the age of eight really thinks of engagin in anymore.

A: Well, for good reason, because it's absolutely clear: The egg came first in evolutionary terms. Reptiles were laying eggs long before there were any chickens.


I've been saying this for years, except I get it more right than he does: Fish were the first egg-layers. He's off by a few hundred million years, but I'll let it slip. This time.
