TomBAvoider Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 An interesting article, highlighting the fact that much in biology is determined by more than genes and the environment, and is essentially noise. For example, controlling as tightly as possible for genes and environment with both virtually identical, you can still have differences of lifespan in worms of as much as 300%. https://slate.com/technology/2014/09/random-noise-in-biology-why-genetically-identical-twins-arent-identical.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Put Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 But of course. Epigenetics matter too. At the same time, having random variations provides another layer, but it certainly doesn't meant that genes do not matter. A lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
