Replying to Thistle Harlequin thread got me thinking of my old theory about DNA mutations.
If you have any knowledge in DNA you might get this. I'll try to explain it as simplest as I can.
If you take two totally identical chromosomes and activate them at the same time activation wave will go trough them and activate randomly certain parts. It was long believed that two identical chromosomes will react same way.
But this experiment showed that it actually happens by chance. God really plays dice.
Now, from experience we know it's not true because we see all those mutations trough history and adapting to environment in different species.
So it definitely doesn't happen by chance. Survival of the fittest comes actually after the mutation it self. So what choses that mutation.
Is experiences and knowledge from our life affecting mutation in our DNA?
We know that chickens of 1 day age, absolutely no experience freak out when object in form of plus "+" is showed above them (resembles hawk), but when the same object is manipulated to resemble cross "†" they chill and chase seeds on the ground. Not to mention small turtles and alligators that run for the water as soon as they break the egg.
So scientifically we came so long to prove by observation that all mutations happen by chance. But from our life time experience, and I mean existence of all life on planet, we see that mutations are definitely guided by our experiences.
Plus there is a part of code in our chromosomes that is totally unique for every person. Is that personal experience and memories coded in the DNA?
I wish I could illustrate this for you. With fancy pictures and explanations. It would be so simple =D Now you got something to chew on.
