FIRST EVENT. “A population happens to face new conditions (due to a change of their environment, either locally or due to migration, of food, or symbionts, etc.) and the organisms of this population accommodate to the new conditions via a physiological adjustment (as related to the trophic or behavioural change); this may change their gene expression profile, as it often does (without a change of genome, yet).” https://lnkd.in/eS_4y_J View in LinkedIn

PLASTICITY. “Genetic changes are not sources of plasticity, they are rather the constraints of plasticity.” https://lnkd.in/eS_4y_J View in LinkedIn

INSERT NEW CHIP PLEASE. “As twentieth century biologists realized with increasing frustration, reductionism cannot explain the self-renewing processes of life. And equally important, reductionism cannot predict what Nature’s living systems will do.” https://lnkd.in/g-_U4c9 View in LinkedIn

GERMLINE DISTRIBUTION. “The process of collecting these mutations is enhanced by recombination, because if an individual has gathered several mutations having the same effect, a recombination process will distribute these to the offspring of a partner that does not yet have any. Such distribution of the trait in the population, again, does not require any differential reproduction.” https://lnkd.in/eS_4y_J View in LinkedIn

“REDUCTIONISM is the theory that any system, simple or complex, can be described by analyzing its parts. The reductionist worldview holds that the behavior of a system is nothing more than the sum of the behaviors of its parts.” https://lnkd.in/g-_U4c9 View in LinkedIn

GERMLINE MUTATIONS. “For a germline to collect these mutations will be just a matter of time; differential reproduction is not required for this. The process of collecting these mutations is enhanced by recombination, because if an individual has gathered several mutations having the same effect, a recombination process will distribute these to the offspring of a partner that does not yet have any. Such distribution of the trait in the population, again, does not require any differential reproduction.” https://lnkd.in/eS_4y_J View in LinkedIn

ASTRONAUTS all seem to conclude that the view of earth from outer space leads to the conclusion of interconnectivity, one ecosystem, rather than the prevailing mantra we obtain from gibbering news feeds of segregated nation states with seemingly endless conflicting interests. Changing the chip to view planet earth as a single interdependent community does not need a trip to outer space. It just needs immersion in the abundant and beautiful dots that can be connected from the scientific literature. View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE touches on the profound interconnectivity of nature. Mainstream science articles are coy and evasive on this potentially frilly subject, even if many — if not most — of the scientists have a deep conviction of its truth. Sometimes, a huge and evident truth can be evasive to nuts-and-bolts proof, simply because it is so huge. And, there is the very significant career risk of being associated with the abundant lunatic fringe. But former academic Bill Graham, once a marine biologist, eloquently speaks for the many of us who are somewhat tongue-tied on the subject. View in LinkedIn
