<The evolution of lifeforms on this planet is particularly simple compared to the evolution of language or something. This is because there is only one path from parents to children, while other information systems have quite complex inheritence.> That's highly simplified... I'd like to see your description of that "one path". :) I also wonder why you haven't contacted the Nobel group with your description of the evolution of living energy systems??? BTW, can you expand on evolution of "language or something"? Is that really separate from the evolution of human consciousness say? OTOH, with much scientific research that will probably go into these things (biological systems), we should learn quite a bit about if over the next 50 years or so. "Sounds" good though. DAK

"This is because there is only one path from parents to children, while other information systems have quite complex inheritence." That is true. I watched a show the other day on how art has reflected and created human history. The Egyptian obsession with order leading to their representative human form (sideways, head to the side, both palms facing the viewer, etc.) which lasted for centuries. Then the Greek realistic human forms. Then the idealized human forms, etc. All this evolution of art being concomitant with change in human ideas, social systems, politics, etc.--all influencing all and being influenced by all. On the other hand (as you said), reproduction is not a passing fad of many--but rather THE vehicle (or path) upon which the evolution of a species depends.
