Марсело Санчес - Эмбрионы в глубинах времени

Биология не преподаёт никаких экзистенциальных уроков, но может стать поводом для рефлексии. Безграничность времени и осознание того, что безграничность биологического многообразия делает нас всего лишь одним видом на огромном древе жизни, вселяет в нас скромность. Бесконечность красок жизни и изменения — то самое величайшее шоу на Земле — вызывает благоговение. Окружающая среда и индивидуальное развитие тесно переплетаются. Фенотип — это не просто результат проявления генотипа. Окружающая среда может вызвать изменения в развитии; даже ископаемые остатки организмов, будучи такими неполными, демонстрируют это, если знать, как читать их. Мы, люди, представляем собой лишь одну ветвь огромного древа жизни — но зато способную изменять окружающую среду с такой скоростью, которой до сих пор были способны достичь лишь крупнейшие геологические события. То, как мы продолжим воздействовать на окружающую среду, определит судьбу онтогенеза всех живых существ вокруг нас: скромно, считаясь с тем, чего каждый из нас может достичь; возможно, действуя локально, чтобы внести небольшой вклад, и находясь под управлением морального императива; действуя независимо, или даже вразрез с биологией, химией и физикой.
