<The expression of genes is a trait of their organisation, and their organisation is a matter of inheritence.> But that can't dictate everything involved with 'problems' {re. your assertion: "Life on earth does not notice a problem, and then start developing the genes to deal with it. They either already have something that will do, or they die.") right, since that would imply primative organisms could 'express' as much or in some cases MORE traits than higher organisms or humans since they have as many genes?? "But unless the human genome contains a lot of genes that are opague to our computers, it is clear theat we do not gain our undoubted completxity over worms and plants by using more genes." David Baltimore-2001 Further he says: "Understanding what does give us our complexity-enourmous behavioural repetoire, ability to produce conscious action, remarkable physical coordination, and precisely tuned alterations in reposnse to external variations of the environments.......-remains a challenge for the future." <There are environmental factors that can come into play> That might be a large understatement: cscs.umich.edu drnelson.utmem.edu DAK
