pg 291 - "... the preservation of Hox genes and other tool kit genes
over more than 500 million years illustrates that the pressure to
maintain these proteins has generally been as great as that upon any
class of molecules ..."



(Got intrigued and inspired enough to spin off on it.)

Here comes some open, some leading, and one ordinary questions!

How about accepting that the homeobox is a universally
physioanatomically fundamental molecular pattern
similar to how atoms and the three main subatomic particles can be seen
as manifestations of
fundamental properties of matter?

Is it at all "in the realm of the possible" for other complex chemical
patterns than DNA
to "be bioevolutionary" [that is, ~= to procreatively mutate to the
effect that, on the whole, increasingly
"complex"# energy moderating systems (or ditto biological patterns)]?

[# In regard to the concepts of complexity:- How about considering to
define the degree of the here most relevant meaning
of complexity to be commensurate with the degree of *functional
flexibility and variability of adaptability endowing* richness of an
species-typical individuals' innate and acquired repertoires of
actention.]

Or, is the homeobox conserved only because it is merely more
bioevolutionarily viable than other, *fundamentally also possible*,
such complex chemically coded recipes?

Does similarly fundamental (to the process of fauna phylogeny) patterns
(and patterns of patterning) exist in respect of phylogenetically and
psychobiologically relevant lifetime challenges (situation/stressor)?

Assuming that such similarities exist, would we normally dare and also
otherwise have the kind of mind necessary to develop a perception and
rational-philosophical understanding of a poignant and penetrating
principle at work in the phylogeny of fauna and folk by analyzing,
and tailoring a to the task suitably tactical and insight cementing
terminology
in line with a didactic dichotomy of adverse and opportune types
of pressures within an Evolutionary Pressure Totality?

I know that (and something about why and how)
_we normally don't_.
