The “patterns” of the evolution of “life”
“Patterns” of the path to being, including the human being
(English)
For those who have gone through the previous materials, it is clear that I have a challenging mission… Many points of view, many great discoveries of science, many dogmas… But also many “patterns”… Sure, it will be a consistent material… Let’s start!
Going through the materials, “of all kinds”, led me not to omit the two great ideological “currents” of creationism and evolutionism… Both fight with scientific arguments, so… Our participation is “eliminated” in both cases.
From the point of view of creationism, everything is simple… According to calculations, about 7 to 8,000 years ago, the “God Bang” took place, the creation, the genesis clearly stating that man was created, male and female, “God was pleased with his creation and blessed it” (Genesis I).
From the point of view of science, the story of man began 13.8 billion years ago, with the great “Big Bang”. Everything that followed, in what would be called the “Unified Field”, resulted in what is now human (from bacteria to all forms of life, plants, insects, animals, etc., to mammals and, of these, primates with their evolutionary peak embodied in humans).
The essential “moments” of the evolution of “matter” since the “Big Bang” or “God Bang” we presented to you in sufficient detail in the previous materials, but without focusing on the illustrated elements on our ancestors… So, the time has come to specify something “more advanced” on what would be, concretely, the “patterns” of the “road” to man…
The expression “patterns of the road” is not chosen randomly… The permanent transformation, without a doubt, continues now and will continue even after this… An indisputable asset in this direction is represented by the massive cross-breeding of the current human population, a process that has been going on for thousands of years, imperceptible, but real, palpable, observable…
Something “recognized” also by creationists through the “continuous degradation of the original human genome”, regardless of the source, from Adam and Eve to the crossroads of Jesus, Muhammad and the revelations of the Archangel Gabriel, Buddha and his “teachings”, etc., and up to our times…
But, let’s start with a kind of beginning, “localized” to the interest of Our “speech”!
I will focus my “accumulations” on what would be the scientific approach on the subject of the main “landmarks” that “characterize” Homo Sapiens from all points of view: 1. The use of tools (with the approach to the shape of the human hand), which allowed so something, 2. Bipedal walking and 3. Large brain and self-awareness… But is this simplistic way of solving a “discussion” topic enough?!?
From a creationist point of view, everything was perfect from the „Beginning”… Affecting the entire human organism with the impairment of “point 3” (Brain blah, blah)… Let me not preface! Let’s conclude together, with those who will continue reading the material!
Losing “on the way” that the departure of the human “line” from a man and a woman violates what is specified much later, in the same Bible, in “Leviticus (18:6)”, where incest is prohibited, clearly specifying and the participants who “give birth” to incest (parents, even step-parents, sister, brother, nephew, niece, aunt, brother’s wife, uncle’s aunt, daughter-in-law, etc., up to the 8th degree of kinship)…
The arguments brought by the creationists are that God would have allowed this, therefore, it would have been possible… Forgetting that one can speak of incest even from “Creation”, in Adam and Eve, Eve is genetically part of Adam’s body, according to the descriptions in “Genesis”, so incest starting from the rationale of “Creation” is recorded in the holy books… And what’s more, incest is allowed by religious creationists and later, with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc…
There would also be the fact that the “initial” genes were perfect, the genetic material was close to perfection, “mankind being completely different from the way we know it today, even physically”, from Adam to Noah people lived 900 years, after the flood the duration of life decreasing permanently, the sin of “tasting the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil” (or others) being the source of this degradation…
Correlated with classical medicine which states that incest causes damage to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) leading to retardation and oligophrenia, all organs and systems are subject to malformation, and the danger of degenerative diseases increases the closer the relationship, it seems that all these are “elements” very easily corrected by divine will (probably)…
To which I can add the clear evidence of first-degree inbreeding, which is determined by finding (many crazy people in this world) that every 4th child born from such relationships is seriously ill… Even if the bigots have a “cure” for that too, invoking the original purity in balance with the degeneration caused by sin, especially incest, both in human nature and in the environment that surrounds us…
Then why not, from a genetic point of view, the decrease in the number of a population below a “critical threshold” means the irreversible, “unsaved” “extinction” of that population, species… But, here too, the “perfection of the initial gene” would intervene …
So everything is so controversial that I will stop here with what would be a creation from the point of view of religious dogma…
The “evolutionist” approach comes closer to the truth. It’s getting close! Because the truth “is in the middle”… You’ll see! This parenthesis comes in to stop those whose faith I might “affect” reading! Stick to the effort of “knowing” the holy books, the dogmas! It sure is better for you!
I will now try an “approach” that requires a kind of “alloy” analysis, so the description of the milestones stated above will follow a relatively “mixed” line, which will be “dictated” more by the evolutionary chronology than a clear, scientific.
And, speaking of the approach, I will make a kind of comparative analysis with everything that the creationists say, like “God Bang”… Maybe they are right too… And I am the “martyr” of Satan…
It is quite obvious that the “inheritance” of evolution, everything that has “accumulated” in our genes (and not only), will “allow” us to find many elements of our “path” to man… Visible or “hidden deep” in us, in our essence, determining the most powerful and elementary “presences” or behaviors. What will be found to be a “pattern” (or group of “patterns”)?
From the point of view of the creationists, no matter how they comment, humans are no longer what he was at the “Beginning”, their evolution from the moment of creation being indubitable even from the “God Bang” point of view, even though the accumulation of “sins “. So, the debate that will follow is in agreement with both “currents” of thought…
The first part of the evolution of life was more than seven times longer than the last (4.3 billion years, compared to a maximum of 600 million years, out of a total of 4.6 billion years), the one described by the “ancient” life forms, “ the “ancestors” of the life forms that exist at this moment…
It is the period of single-celled beings, of bacteria… At first, “Terra-formers”, later they advance towards multicellular beings and further towards the forms of life that we define as “more advanced”.
Creationists do not “take into account” these forms of life… Practically, they do not exist in “Creation”… They constitute a true support of everything that will follow. Anyway, we will elaborate in later materials, not now!
But evolutionists discover traces of them even from the first million years of Earth’s existence.
This clarification may seem forced, but here I want to present the “Story of being”, even ending with a kind of “human story”, as completely as possible, no matter how controversial the “interpretations” might be… Somewhat later, in this group of materials, you will understand the reason for this “insistent introduction”…
So, for there to still be intriguing, I will start with the “middle” of the “man’s story”, with the moment when the first structural “components” of the organism materialized in the “human body”, possibly in the man, appear…
Because we are limited in perception, the concept of most of us is limited to the perception of the life of the body, which is assimilated to the life of the individual… So, to work, starting with the supporting elements of the human body, those that constitute the skeleton! As a clarification, I should have started with the microbiome, but it is too vast a material, so what will follow?
As can be “inferred” from the previous materials, it is obvious that the first organisms that presented an early “articulated” bony skeleton were worms, then fish (all this can be extended to the cartilaginous skeleton, because during the fetal period of the human being, newborn and child until around 6 months the skeleton is cartilaginous, then mostly cartilaginous until it completely mineralizes and becomes bone)…
From this skeleton, the so-called “vertebral column” has the same structure even in our times, with “species” variations…
Including the skull, it shows the same evolution, the “skulls” being initially worms, then fish, etc. The “defining path” of a true pattern begins hundreds of millions of years ago, with the so-called “Ichthyostega”, from the point of view of the “fossils” discovered.
Something more advanced, like a kind of evolutionary step (from the Devonian) to therapods (beings “that walk on the ground”), “steps in” what scientists have called “Tiktaalik” (in Inuit language means “big freshwater fish” ), 375 million years ago.
He is a real link that demonstrates this transition, being an animal (fish) that had a “fish-like” body covered with scales, gills, and fins, but also had lungs, an articulated neck, articulated limbs as well as the first bony “disposition” on the present-day “model”/”pattern” of all animals…
Blasphemy, the creationists would say… The divine power made on the 5th day, among other things, the fish and all the animals that move through the waters. And so it was! Fish and all other living things were created before humans, or is it different (rhetoric)?!?
Something like: “Through the fish came all living things”. Strange “intuition”!
Those who “try” to understand the “divine work” quickly find themselves questioning when studying human embryonic development.
Everything starts from a cell, the ovum, which is fertilized by “a rest of the cell”, the spermatozoon, which will be “included” in the ovum, which will divide and, at a given moment, will form a kind of distinct embryo start ( early embryo).
Well, wow, this one is strikingly similar to the early fish embryo, and not even “closely” to man. Everything goes so “far” that it has the same structure (not only similarity). The embryo has a head, a body, and a tail, but also another obvious similarity, in what would be the neck area, the so-called “pharyngeal area”.
Here, all the incipient embryos of fish and all animals with a “common evolutionary trunk”, therefore also of humans, show some swellings, like some folds, which are nothing more than “gill arches”. Yes, you read correctly, this is the name unanimously accepted by the world of science (including medicine).
When the fish embryo develops, this area will become the gill area (gill apparatus). But, in the case of the human embryo, this area will develop into the maxillary, mandibular, and human “vocal system”.
For example, in the case of small human genetic errors, this area develops “slightly” differently, the “angle of gill development” (point of differentiated stem development) being visible at the base of the upper part of the ear flap, of course in those who present this “ congenital malformation”.
The same similarity is evident in the development of the “male” gonads. In fish, being “cold-blooded” life forms, the gonads are located near the heart, to take advantage of a small amount of “constant” metabolic heat, necessary for the development of the normal physiological processes of this structure.
In the case of humans, the gonads would not function near the heart because the heat would be too great. So, evolutionarily, the gonads have moved further and further away from the “warm heart” area, going right outside the body in mammals that are “warm-blooded” organisms and require structured “cooling” (as you will see in the following materials).
But, amazingly, in the case of the human embryo, the initial development of the future gonads is found, yes, you guessed it, near the heart, later descending to where it is, with the embryonic development, in a kind of “reediting” of evolution. The difference is that on the “female side,” they remain inside the body and will form the ovaries, and only on the “male side” will they exit the body, in the scrotum.
But this is only after 4–4.5 months of embryonic development when sexual “differentiation” begins and the male gonads will no longer be “unisex” gonads (you read that correctly) and will descend “below” the “uterine” area (where female gonads will remain).
This is where the evolutionary path to the human “body” clearly begins (to bipedal “status”, to the hand that uses tools, blah, blah), even if this ancestor is the evolutionary starting line from which both amphibians and reptiles will develop.
Amphibians will not interest us on our way because the “constructive” delimitations are difficult to “stick” to the evolution towards man, even if they are based on the same “systematics”, being predominant only the “fish” and “reptilian” elements of origin from which the evolution of mammals, to which “human” belongs as an evolutionary line…
And, this clear delimitation of amphibians is due, first of all, to the way their physiology has evolved, from several points of view, such as the dependence on the permanently wet environment, and others that I will not insert here… They hold on to another “road”, even if the starting point remains common…
However, from these “branching” species (which have disappeared for a long time), the clear delimitation of the skull, neck, limbs, disposition of the thorax, and the bones of the pelvis begins, the bone pattern remaining unchanged even today, in all terrestrial species, and not only.
The same clear, unchanged disposition also appears in what would be the muscular disposition, being signaled by the first large muscle attachment surfaces after the “model” of today’s ones (the shoulder blade, even the shoulder girdle).
Going further, from the bones/skeleton we reach the distribution of nerves in the body… Quite “synchronous” to the skeleton that is found, almost unchanged, from fish to all animal species that have evolved with this true model “at the base” of their evolution.
In this sense comes the “similarity of the limbs” which, both in fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals (including humans) have a typical disposition: “one bone (femur in the posterior/lower limbs, humerus in the anterior/upper limbs), two bones (tibia -ulna, radius-cubitus) in both limbs, including small bones (tarsals, carpals), fingers (phalanges)”…
So, evolutionary, but also from the point of view of the evolution of the human embryo, the evolution will attract a kind of reptilian pattern in us, the next evolutionary step after the fish in us, in the human body…
Do you think that everything, these developments, came by itself?!? Our intervention is obvious. And even if you have “evolutionist” considerations, what would be your approach, what would be the engine that will justify a simple statement, “evolution”, without justifying “scientifically” what it is?!?
Those beings, regardless of their “level,” were “forced” to do something. “Forced” because otherwise it would have ceased to exist, died, and therefore disappeared. “Forced” can be interpreted as “need to adapt”. Or am I wrong?
And the repetition of gestures that attract “survival” led to the formation of reflexes, elements easily correlated with the “conditioned reaction”. That living being was “forced” to develop behavioral mechanisms that “rely” on… Organic changes, of behavioral “acclimatization”.
Organic changes that involve not only the appearance of neural but also systemic elements. Yes, everything is not reduced to the memory of some neurons, possibly of a formation of neurons that, adaptively, became a kind of backbone, which later needed a brain.
Everything is a general systemic development of the organism. The “medullary line” in a certain way “requested” a “centralization”, of the brain, followed by “sensing” the fragility of the structure, and the protective formation appeared (spine, brain, ribcage, blah, blah).
Limbs also arose from the same requirements of survival. And they developed and evolved together with the ensemble. Which “ensemble” at some point “demanded” that the body position be bipedal, then that the hands have opposable fingers, giving birth to the “characteristic” “manuality”, blah, blah.
Likewise, the brain, its form, and its constitution attracted a whole “whole” process. Whether it is a “fool brain” or not…
All development in the whole of that living being, together with each of its constituents (as I will present in the case of human evolution in the following materials).
That’s where it all started: big brains, bipedalism, the shape and abilities of the human hand that attracts tools, then blogging on Medium.
Everything is a general evolution of that living being, of the whole of those living things, of the whole of life, of Our whole.
Yes, it can be argued that the automatism of living beings, developed and “selected” by evolution, can justify all these considerations, but is it so?
But perhaps, following the “patterns” that constantly “picket” every logical step of this “evolving” material, you will reconsider your “positions”. Like the development of consciousness, whether it is individual or global, whether it is matter or Ours. But let’s continue!
It seems obvious that we should “return” to the development of the human embryo, that of the first weeks of its existence.
In the first weeks of life, the body of the human embryo is delimited by the head, the body (with the heart particularly visible), the tail (you read that right, but which, now, represents an evolution of the embryonic fishtail — some associations can be made with the “monkey tail” but, believe me, they are forced) and, surprise, the Yolk „bag”…
For the uninitiated, the yolk sac is the first extra-embryonic structure that becomes visible sonographically in the gestational sac, being located at the level of the ventral pole of the embryo.
For the uninitiated, the yolk sac or yolk sac is the first extra-embryonic structure that becomes visible sonographically in the gestational sac, being located at the level of the ventral pole of the embryo.
During the embryonic period, this sac represents the main “fluid” exchange route between the embryo and the mother, having nutritional, immunological, metabolic, endocrine, hematopoietic, etc. functions until the angio-structure appears (angio — the first element of scholarly composition with the meaning “vessel ” (blood, lymphatic), “channel”, “receptacle” — the source is the explanatory dictionary) which supports the placental circulation capable of providing everything necessary for the embryo, the umbilical cord…
The presence and functionality of this yolk sac are vital until the placental circulation is established, the blood exchange being ensured by the yolk circulation and the primitive embryonic aorta.
In fact, during the first weeks of pregnancy, the ultrasound presence of this sac represents (medically) the confirmation of pregnancy and can give clues as to the prognosis of the pregnancy, its dimensions increasing progressively between the 5th and 10th week of pregnancy, up to sizes of 5–6 mm, specifying that a diameter greater than 5 mm is considered to be an increased risk of spontaneous abortion.
Towards the end of the fourth week of pregnancy, the yolk sac connects to the early digestive system of the embryo via the yolk duct, thus taking over the transfer duties between the outside (the mother’s body) and the embryo. Later, this vitelline duct will obliterate (no longer detectable between 14–20 weeks of pregnancy), and in some cases, only a rudiment remains, known as Meckel’s diverticulum.
And, there is something more than the Yolk Sac… The amnion, ”derived” from the Yolk Sac, is what will become the placental sac, bounded by the placenta, containing the amniotic fluid, being similar to the membrane separating the contents of the egg from the calcareous shell his…
Clear evolution appeared for the first time in ancestral reptiles, which were delimited from fish and amphibians through this egg shape that could lead to the birth of a new being without the presence of water from the external environment as a support for evolution… Clear evolution that remains in our genes…
The next step would be represented by our skin, skin that evolved from the form of existence of fish into an amphibious, later reptilian form… The end is a mammalian form with the evolution that will follow towards what we know to be human skin.
The summary presented, the skin of amphibians, which, for the most part, cannot live without “wet skin”, underwent an adaptation process represented by the formation of superimposed layers of dead skin on the entire surface of the body, both for “reasons” of “sun” protection and for water conservation, by preventing or “managing” dehydration in the “dry environment”.
The genetic “root” of fish attracted a first form of skin existence in a scaly form, relatively characteristic of reptiles (and their subsequent development).
The clearest proof in this sense is represented by shedding, “rejecting” the layer of dead skin, in the case of some species of reptiles, especially snakes, which constantly “eliminate” the layer of dead skin on the outside. Now, without any confusion, the “link” can be made with the permanent “shedding” of the human skin, which thus removes layer after layer of dead cells…
But we are not completely “skin-kin” to reptiles, but only to that stage of separation between the reptilian line and the mammalian line, 300 million years ago, because we have preserved (or developed) formations for moisturizing the skin (possibly for managing the loss of water but also with a role of thermoregulation, a fact that in humans also attracted the loss of “most” hair on the body), formations represented by the glands present in the skin, “eliminating” the need for the presence of protective scales…
Glands that secrete a veritable mixture of oils that keep the surface of the skin hydrated (conserves, manages water loss)… That’s why the surface of our skin is soft, velvety, and pleasant to the touch, while that of reptiles is dry and rough, scaly.
Or, from an evolutionary point of view, the “evolutionary separation” from fish into amphibians and reptiles left some genetic traces related to a different form of hydration of the skin, on a relatively common line with reptiles, which even then led to the emergence of mammalian precursors?!?
Another “inheritance” type “adaptation” is represented by the specialization of the teeth, first reported in gorgonopsids, they being a kind of initial stage of dentition specialization type delimitation, an evolution that will also lead to human dentition.
With the simple problem of not having inherited the permanent replacement of the dentition… However, I kept a form of this manifestation, represented by the replacement of the milk dentition with the final, “bony” dentition…
Following the line of evolution, after the great Cambrian extinction (“Mother of all extinctions”, at the end of the Permian, 250 million years ago), the environmental conditions were particularly unfavorable (particularly high temperatures, excessively dry climate, massive temperature differences from day to night, etc), which caused the evolutionary line of reptile-mammals to start developing hair…
Initially also as an extension of the sense organs and later as a form of thermoregulation (fur)…
The first evidence of “ancestral” mammals that are covered with hair appears with the Tritheledont, “only” 50 million years after the great extinction, i.e. 200 million years ago…
Now, from my point of view and that of the accepted authors, comes the most sensational “ancestral” connection of the human “skin” with the reptile mammals… A kind of “overlap of evolutionary origin” of the origin of hair, teeth, and skin that reveals the deep connection of these “organs”…
Modern biology, especially based on the discoveries of the researcher Abigail Tucker, has shown that the skin is not just an external covering covering the body…. It is the “origin” of the growth of hair, teeth, nails, claws, and scales, including all skin glands…
The research started from the study of the formation of formations in the skin (glands, etc.) and concluded that the skin is the “generator” of all of them, not being about “autonomously” generated structures…
A tissue, skin, taken from the animal (including human) embryo, for example, from the jaw area, will form teeth (in a process of fold-like development, which will initially lead to a common tissue development which later will differentiate into the teeth and the skin covering the gum, for example)…
Likewise, all skin organs will develop, starting from hair (as a complete structure — a similar process including the development of scales, and feathers), glands, teeth, nails, and even mammary glands… All are based on this ancestral heritage that led from animals covered only with skin to animals that develop all the structures of our times, animals of our times.
And to make it undeniable, the development of the skin and all these “elements” in the skin is controlled by a single gene, known as EDA. It is the gene that plays a crucial role in building many vital structures that originate in the skin… This gene controls how hairy the animal is, the density of skin components in a certain area/surface, how many teeth will develop and what shape they will have, and many, many others…
An example known to have problems with this gene, EDA, is the actor Michael Berryman, who was “selected” to play many alien and monster roles in science fiction films because he has a mutation of this gene… He suffers from an EDA mutation that no longer allows the proper development of the skin organs… Nails, hair, teeth, cooling glands of the skin, and implicitly of the body…
In a kind of end of the human structural similarities with fish, we arrive at another heritage of great importance, a new kind of ears, with a flag (external ear)… Such an ear is not found in reptiles but only in life forms that have evolutionary steps along the lines of mammals… The ear that confers auditory sensitivity far superior to other forms of life… Sometimes it also has a thermoregulation function…
But the secret of this sensitivity lies not only in the external pavilion, typical of mammals, but also in the smallest bones of the body, the hammer, the anvil, and the stapes, present in the middle ear… The demarcation typical of mammals is clear because reptiles have only one bone that ensures the transmission of tympanic vibration to the nervous structures of transmission and interpretation…
And, surprise, studies regarding the human embryonic development of the middle ear reveal that initially there is only one bone, as in reptiles…
But, during development, two “extra-bones” will be differentiated that seem to be part of the maxillary-mandibular area, as part of the “jaw”, they will “rise” positionally, from an anatomical point of view, and, at the moment at birth, they are already delimited by the “jaw” disconnecting from it, already being part of the future middle ear, which is not yet “finally” formed (these bones being still cartilaginous, in a process of shrinking, ossification, repositioning, etc. ) but relatively functional…
This process is also described at the level of the differentiation of the bones of the hands and feet, being a similar “mechanism”, with normal anatomical specificity… A process whose evolution is “specialized” by living beings, called new mammals, for almost 300 million years (which is confirmed by numerous fossils on the developmental tree of mammals, the complete delimitation of the “jaw” bones appearing 200 million years ago)…
And, particularly interesting is the fact that, with this separation of the middle ear bones, there is a massive increase in brain volume (detected in a fossil from 180 million years ago, in the so-called Hidrocodeina species)… The growth is due to first of all the extreme requirements demanded by the environmental conditions, particularly aggressive towards small mammals, but also the requirements for perception, interpretation, etc. of the new sense organs…
Only after the catastrophe of 65 million years ago, with the extinction of the dinosaurs, was the development of mammals free from what we know and perceive nowadays.
We mentioned earlier the development and differentiation of limbs, and we will initially focus on the hands, a significant element in the “isolation”/”demarcation” of man from primates (monkeys).
Obviously, humans’ hands are what allowed all the “requirements” of the members of their evolution to materialize thoughts and bring man to where he is now, building things, manipulating them, and using them. I did not emphasize this “pointlessly” (in future materials from the same “group”, I will describe things that will leave you “speechless”)…
And, keeping the pattern of analysis focused on embryonic development, things get complicated, and we need to resort to some “conquests” of genetics.
Everything starts from fertilization, from a cell that divides, resulting in two cells, then the two divide and result in four, then there will be 8, 16, 32, etc. Everyone knows that. So, a kind of rule, quite general, of “2”, possibly of symmetry…
What genetics has discovered is that the initial division will only generate stem cells, undifferentiated… Until a certain point, when a set of “initially distinct stem” cells will be generated from these undifferentiated stem cells…
Well, the initial elements of the embryo (head, body, and tail) develop “distinctly” from these cells. Next, we have to deal with a new development of stem cells but, this time, they will be relatively differentiated, “being born” the “points of differentiated stem development” (which I mentioned earlier in the case of the differentiation of the gills).
To better understand, I will personalize my presentation with the example of the development of 6 fingers (palmar or plantar, it doesn’t matter) in the embryo, the human fetus.
The human palm has two such initial points (staged, of course). The first to give birth to the stem cells that will form the future body of the palm, which develops from the initial point at the level of attachment of the limb to the body that gives birth to stem cells that differentiate in stages, according to the rule presented above, to the “typology” of the bones of the limbs.
This “starting point” will develop undifferentiated stem cells into the approximate shape of a fingerless glove. From here, the second “point” will develop, which will initiate the development of the fingers… Well, this development point will quickly differentiate into three “branching” points which will “go” further according to the doubling rule…
So, normally, from the start, the human palm will have to develop six fingers… But, evolutionarily, since the amphibian-reptiles, “ancestors” of the mammalian line that led to humans, the sixth finger has disappeared… But a genetic remnant remained…
And so the third point of undifferentiated development, placed somewhere at the base of the future little finger, will be able to develop the “anomaly” of six fingers, which occurs when this “point”, for various reasons, develops an additional finger, after “doubling rule”, this being possible because, on the genetic-evolutionary path, there were stages in which “our ancestors” (not concerning humans but to the entire “evolutionary circus”) had six fingers.
Also on the above principle, with certain “interferences”, a section of the “genetic remains” will activate the development of “palpated” fingers (especially in the area of the fingers of the lower limbs).
Well, not only genetics confirms these “findings” but also embryology, being the science that demonstrated that this embryonic development mechanism is identical for all forms of life, no matter what they are, worms, insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals… With the normal differentiations related to the species, but also, often, to the individual…
The rule of the three “points” of development starts from the embryonic stage… There are three initial germinal layers of the embryo’s development: the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm, which are formed in the second week of pregnancy, from the blastocyst (the epithelial layer, which will differentiate into parenchymal ectoderm and epithelial ectoderm — the “3 to 2” rule).
The human brain develops from the third week of pregnancy from the ectoderm, the outermost layer of the embryo, which thickens and folds to form the neural crest, which is the precursor to the neural tube from which the brain and spinal cord will “develop”, starting from the sixth week of pregnancy.
The brain develops in the anterior part of the neural tube, and the spinal cord in the posterior part of the neural tube. So, in the first few weeks, the brain will form from… Three main regions: the forebrain, midbrain, and rhombencephalon, are followed in the following weeks by differentiation into specific brain structures, which will continue throughout life (most of this development occurring during pregnancy and the first years of life).
The “pattern” of “three” is outlined earlier.
Then what else do you think develops from this ectoderm? Do you remember the role of the cell membrane presented in previous materials?!? That “something” compared to the actual brain of a cell, compared to the nucleus of the cell?!?
Well, from this “ectoderm” will also develop the skin, the senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and the “kinesthetic” represented by feeling/tactile, the thermal “sensors” and the “assimilates” (for example, the blind can interpret color by touch), along with the peripheral nervous system, the pineal gland, and the “accessories” of the skin represented by sweat glands, mammary glands, hair, nails, completed by teeth.
Do you constantly notice “patterns”?!?
Yes, there would be something else to specify, although everything seems to become much too “technical”…
I kept mentioning stem cells, and undifferentiated stem cells, and obviously, this is where the need for further clarification arises.
Imagine the process of egg division starting from the moment of fertilization! I won’t “dazzle” you with meiosis, mitosis, or other cell division stuff. Just imagine! Imagination to “perceive” that the human egg has an average size of 0.1 mm and the sperm is 0.06 mm with a width of 0.003 mm, meaning that the egg is 1,700 times larger than the sperm.
Moreover, the sperm is a remnant of a cell, and the ovum is a whole cell, but the process of division begins with the formation of only two cells from the ovum… Not three, that is, the two divisions of the ovum plus a kind of completion of the sperm, and not four cells, two from the egg and two from the “activating” sperm…
Can these two cells be attributed to any specificity, in the sense that this cell will develop the liver, for example, and the other will develop, say, the brain?!? Or systemic type attributions, like, from this cell will develop the bone, or the muscular, or the digestive system, or another?!? Not… It is clear that we are dealing with undifferentiated cells, which cannot be differentiated, or identified to receive a certain assignment, they do not have a particular specificity, right?!?
And how many undifferentiated cells would have to be created to form, for example, just the human skeleton (skeletal system), which consists of 208 bones, not to mention that this number is not always constant in some people small, extra bones forming between the bones of the skull or between the joints of the fingers?!?
How many undifferentiated cells is it necessary to create only for each system of the human body, or for each organ of the human body, without taking into account the constant evolution of the embryo, according to those presented above?!?
But let’s go further along the line of undifferentiated stem cells, to elucidate a specific mechanism!
Extensive studies spanning more than 50 years have revealed that undifferentiated stem cells will develop according to the environment in which they are created and initiate their existence…
In detail, for a better understanding, I will describe an experiment that can be carried out in any “specific” laboratory for such an experiment. Undifferentiated stem cells will be taken “from one place”, regardless of their source, concerning the placental, bone, neural, hepatic, etc., source.
Well, these undifferentiated stem cells, first, will be multiplied in specific, neutral media (for those in the know: some kind of “saline” or any other similar type (“neutral” culture media), indicated being the minimal, transport media or possibly the enriched ones), because the quantities that can be sampled are tiny for the needs of such a study. And, after a relative cellular multiplication of the mass of stem cells, an optimal amount for the study will be obtained, which will be divided into at least three parts.
Then, these masses of cells will be placed in different culture media. For example, something like liver extract, bone extract, neural extract, dermal, etc (“specific” culture media)… What do you think will happen?!?
Yes, you guessed it, each undifferentiated cell group will develop according to the specificity (“typical”) of the environment in which they were placed, regardless of the “source of sampling”. Those placed in “muscle extract” will become muscle cells, with a specificity given by the characteristics of the culture medium, those placed in “liver extract” will become liver cells, etc… I emphasize, even if their initial source was a completely different tissue type…
I didn’t want to emphasize this fact, but the fact is that the “culture” environment dictates what the future undifferentiated stem cells will become.
Obviously, in the human body, the undifferentiated liver stem cell, for example, will develop in a “hepatic environment,” and thus the reason why it appeared “at this level” will be concretized, becoming a component of that tissue. A real system, quite simple and effective, isn’t it?!?
Notice the “pattern” “similarity” to that of the cell membrane?!? Now comes the “tie-offs” related to the environment.
Embryonic development takes place in an isolated environment, which has no relation to “external environments” for development, to those possible influences, thus ensuring a normal course of embryonic development. But is it so?!?
Genetics, in all specialized works, can be compared to a weapon and the environment, possibly the lifestyle “pulls the trigger”… Possibly it “modernizes” the weapon, or “updates” it (in future materials, you will have details about this “aberration” logic). At least in most cases (over 97% of the mass of human individuals)… With the environment, I clarified or at least described some “details”, but what about the lifestyle?!?
Genetics is just that “hard drive” that records the “add-ons” of “basic genetics” (the genome, the nucleotide sequences that are common to all humans, for example) and the assimilable elements of “behavioral genetics” (such as the instructions “for life “), according to the “pattern” of the cell.
Then, at the level of embryonic development, first of all, the mother intervenes, as a functional ensemble, which permanently “provides” information through her body itself, information that works with the “basic” genetic information and helps with the delimitations of “differentiation” (including behavioral )…
Then, undeniably, the mother’s lifestyle intervenes, which would be her as a developmental environment… Correct or not?!? For those who still raise questions, I remind them of mothers who consume alcohol or other “risky” drugs, of mothers who have a destructive lifestyle, of mothers who evolve in particularly aggressive environments, and other environments that bring “ question marks’ and adaptation needs.
Such as an environment that provides nutritional support that is particularly full of deficiencies… Or, starting logically, for example, only from mothers who consume streptomycin during pregnancy and will seriously affect the dentition of the future child, or from mothers who have an “invasive presence” (for example, spirochetes, which, for example, will seriously affect “palatal bone development”)…
Things that have nothing to do with the genetics of the genome, with what would be “stored” in the mother’s DNA, possibly in what would be the “little” received from the father…
Do you think that the few examples presented will not affect embryonic development?!? Especially since we did not take into account, for example, the massive radio presence of our times, through all the mobile phone networks, through the ubiquitous WiFi networks and similar ones, which, proven, clearly affect human dentition…
Then the psychological component of the mother would intervene… Yes, you read correctly, of the mother and not of the embryo, future individual… Previously, I briefly presented the mechanism of the development of webbed fingers. Well, in a study conducted by American researchers, it is true in only 630 cases, it was found that there is a direct connection between the mother’s psychology and the appearance of webbed toes in the children born to them.
The result of this study reveals that, in 90% of cases, the mother had a strong phobia towards the water, not knowing how to swim, and everything else that can be correlated with fear, horror towards the water, deep or not… So, a significant percentage of what can explain a kind of insertion of the psychological in the development of the embryo, the fetus, and, finally, the child that will be born…
Maybe they are just mere coincidences, but such a high percentage is thought-provoking.
From the point of view of creationists, it is, again, simple…
Human was made by divinity, the only problem being “an extra rib”, and that’s it! Everything perfect, without any consideration to the records of embryonic development, of the small “evidence” of darkness “planted” in what would be fossils, in scientific reasoning, and the like…
For them, there is only one possible evolution: the “sin” of the parents is transferred like genes to the child, the future child… As a punishment for the parents who do not respect the divine rules, even if the question is asked, “What is the fault of the child?!?”… Or, if the parents are “without sin” (which is impossible according to the holy books), the sins of the genealogical line come, regardless of depth, up to their Adam and Eve… Ohhh, so what am I talking about, there is no sinless human (???)…
These creationists are so preoccupied with finding a fault, a sin, which has attracted the atonement of punishments in this life, that poor God remains without the object of work, the judgment, be it the “hereafter”… Without taking into account calculation that they make fun of God’s work, attributing its imperfection from the very beginning of any evaluation through dogma and its main manifestation, bigotry…
This would be their only “pattern”…
So any form of analysis, on the subject discussed above, to which I can connect “dogmatic” creationism, falls flat from the start. Or should I point out that not even the Divine Power was able to do it all in one day?!? Or should I point out that man “functions” according to “relatively” the same principles as animals, being born, living, dying, forming family, social groups, etc.?!? Yes, I forgot the “delimiter”: “Having faith, conscience, and blind obedience in Your manifestation as slaves to Divine Power” (hope you got the joke).
And I think that’s enough of this “getting started” part! Nay! There would still be some “deductions”!
The ideas of creationists may be only poorly represented in religious books, a day of Divine Power may be that period as measured by scientists using Planck time. More concretely, that this 6th day, of the creation of man, is unimaginably long, like 50 million years (you will see in future materials), or less, but anyway much longer than a day?!?
Perhaps the long lifespan of humans from the “Beginning” contradicts such a hypothesis… Why would he leave more than “seven days” to “run” everything, when his “ribs” Adam and Eve “tread on bulb” from day one? It is not specified when Adam had time to “name” all living beings, known or unknown… So everything could be “compressed”, or am I wrong?!? So, in time, I finished.
But, the most important part of this conclusion is that nature or Divine Power proceeded gradually, evolutionary, like a biologist, engineer, etc., going step by step, in an obvious “road of perfection”, a process that can be found in this moment in any direction the research would be oriented.
Yes, he was not alone, because all his “helpers” worked on this work. Wait, they are all Him! Either way, it is straight, resorting to the “patterns” discovered during evolution. “Patterns” that have proven their effectiveness, that have confirmed their “validity” and their use in almost any new “job”.
“Patterns” that do not only have material support. Yes, you get the idea! Do you think that We energy entities are sitting around for nothing? We neutrally witness the manifestation of our contradictions, as long as We participate in the “adaptation” of beings to “patterns”, to automatisms, it is true, but in whose development we participate real, active, trying for that being to “lead” to the manifestation “according to and likeness” of the material entity we participated in? Even on the “line” of manifestation of the creationists, is it of mitigating the “original sin”?!?
In reality, this is a “line”, a “pattern” of the path of each of us, as a unit “energetic entity — material entity” on the “line”, the “pattern” of perfection, of permanent development for the better, for the more adapted… With successes, be they imperfect, of the ensemble of current “living things”, led by Homo Sapiens or with unsuccessful ones (possibly unfortunately), speaking of the species that have become extinct (which, from our point of view, are successful ones that have attracted the closure a cycle of contradictions)…
It is a pity that in this “material sector” we have not been able to maintain the existence of some or much longer of the really necessary living beings. And here, we are not referring to humans, to the human being. We always have alternatives.
But someday we will make it. Only in other sectors of material life in this universe have we succeeded! We can’t fail. Ohhh, and I’m wondering what it will be like, let me come back!
Or, are the statements of the creationists correct, a reverse path, from divine creation, perfect or almost perfect, on a course of regression and degradation, without the participation of divinity, until the Lord Jesus (or Mohammed, Buddha, etc.) obviously, towards “Apocalypse ” (what term means anything other than “end”, “final judgment”, and other “endings”?!?
So, the conclusion “seems” obvious, for evolutionists nature has continuously perfected, “even” through the Divine Power, or the Divine Power has created and the “creation” itself has continuously degraded, until His “judgment”… Or are they just “words” pointless?!?
Be that as it may, it is about evolution, our joint work, the being from matter alongside the energy being, that it takes place from the “God Bang” type of Creation or that it takes place progressively, from the “Big Bang” to the writing of the biblical Genesis…
Does this logical “burst” of “end” seem strange? But even We couldn’t tell the real difference. We were created by the Creator from the Creator, we created with the Creator and through the Creator, who evolved through us, whose evolution attracted the evolution of Our creations, through the Creator!
Whether “exploiting” the “patterns” experienced and confirmed “evolutionarily” in the matter, including You, effective or not, discovered or shared by Us or the Creator…
Even this seems like a “pattern”, doesn’t it? Creation and evolution leading to creation! Confused, but you get the idea…
In the next material, let’s continue with the microbiome and the steps that will follow (in future materials — I hope)!
