The author provides a detailed exploration of this topic, challenging prevailing theories that cells are predetermined in their development and function. Instead, the author posits that cells function as part of a larger system of control, one which coordinates the development of organisms and allows for adaptation. The concept of biological inheritance is also examined, with the author arguing against the notion that acquired traits cannot be passed down through generations. Through its innovative theory of biological development, this book casts new light on biology's central preoccupation with the question of life itself.
