Re: Empathy is a type of information
Empathy as atype of information has the same mechanism on affecting genome as other information staff does, as Shapiro has shown.
So please describe this mechanism and how information is involved.
Edited by Taq, : No reason given.

Re: I need clear answers
Hi Taq. I have read and reread the "Materials and Methods" section and the "Results" section and I am not really going to discuss those sections with you.
In my opinion I would need at least a Bachelors degree in biolog to intelligently discuss those sectons and most likely a Doctorate.
When I get a chance later today I will walk through those sections for you and explain it in terms that a non-biologist would understand. It is vital to understand what the results were and how they got those results before you can even approach the discussion section. Conclusions with no connection to data are worthless.
I do believe I can talk about the Abstract and Discusion sections where the authors set forth what they believe the work they have done demonstrates.
I can also discuss what I interpret those opinions to mean for the theory of evolution.
I mean this with all due respect, but without a firm understanding of the science behind the conclusions you can not form a worthwhile opinion.

Re: Re: does information affecs genome?
As I am not the apropriate person to describe such a mechanism
I quote from Shapiro:
"The second major aspect of evolutionary change by natural genetic engineering is that it generally takes place after an activating event which produces what McClintock called a 'genome shock' [160] . Activating events include loss of food [18] , infection and interspecific hybridization (Tables 3 and 4) "
This mechanism increases the random mutation rate.
FYI, I started a new thread on the Wright paper here.
