It's very poetic to think that evolution contains an archive of all past incarnations,

In the phenome of genes
bathed in a lexicon of memes
lost in so many amorphous dreams
life carries us on
in endless streams...

* How wider our views of the world must have changed when we began to develope the mind & the liguistical capacity of the use of the past and future tense . Our field of vision of the world about us included both the reflection on yesterdays , and the advent of the things we may dream possible yet to come . Though we do tend as a rule to stay close to the familiar surroundings of the present, on an island dedicated our immediate daily maintenance.

<Any life cannot afford to keep genes that are not useful in the present.>

Actually, there is very little research on which genes and their respective 'functions' are still with us and which aren't as far as I know. What about all that "junk" DNA? Do you have any links or readings on what genes from the past we have supposedly shed or what "functions" may still exist?
