Under episodes of cell stress or genome shock, as Shapiro points out in Evolution, a cell “activates the molecular systems that restructure genomes” (ref. Jorgensen). This intense scurry for novelty in response to an external threat, and the coding of solutions into DNA which is passed sideways to their peers, is an observed method of evolutionary progress, and as antibiotic researchers will tell you, it is very effective indeed.
Well, there you go, this general description of the mechanism of external pressures is seen over & over, the same idea finds its emergence again to explain the rapid speciation during the Cambrian explosion in that idea "Evolutionary Arms" race.
One doesn't marvel at the precision or speed of these chemical reactive assemblies, its not uncommon that many kinds of chemical reactions are almost instantaneous. One could marvel at the survivabilty of these assemblies but not so much when one considers the persistant survivablity of the component atoms.
To say that its all just too complex, answers nothing, and its not all too much but you seem to take an infantile joy in repeting this. |
