Quotes About Genetics

Frank's chromosome conquered everywhere. Peace was guaranteed. By the end of another century's ruthless intermarriage, Russia and Asia were engulfed as thoroughly as Europe, and by the same loving methods. Billions of people: one consciousness.

Frank's chromosome was now breeding as true as ever. Blood group, creed, colour of skin nothing was proof against it. The numbers with shared consciousness, procreating for all they were worth, trebled every generation.

Ten thousand years ago, humankind had the genetic potential to read a book, yet not one single human on the planet could read; the genetic potential to play the piano existed, yet not one person could play; the genetic potential to dunk a basketball, type a sentence, ride a bicycle—all that potential existed, but it all remained unexpressed.

Oral myths are closer to the genetic conclusions than the often ambiguous scientific evidence of archaeology.

Our DNA does not fade like an ancient parchment; it does not rust in the ground like the sword of a warrior long dead. It is not eroded by wind or rain, nor reduced to ruin by fire and earthquake. It is the traveller from an ancient land who lives within us all.

Eukaryotes topped that trick with yet another innovation—an elaborately orchestrated breakthrough in cell-division called meiosis.

One may code for wrinkles, while the other holds the blueprint for smooth. As long as they stay together, only the stronger of each pair rules. Eukaryotes took advantage of this disagreement between twins. Prokaryotes had xeroxed chromosomes in their entirety. But eukaryotes unzipped their chromosomal ribbons lengthwise, ever-so gently separating each genetic pair. This yielded two skinny juliennes,‡ each with slightly different properties.

Eukaryotes thus launched a great leap forward in data mix-and-matching, one which roils and churns within us to this day. We latter-age eukaryotes call the resulting DNA cut-and-shuffle sexuality.
