How is it that we can develop whole people inside of our own bodies, but our bodies couldn’t make another finger if we lose it?
In: Biology
Genetic information. Our genes determine our abilities and they’re the ones that determine what we are as people and our limits as well as our potential. We have genetic information to grow nails back but not an entire limb back. Period! It’s like computer programming and why your computer might show you an imagine of a place but it lacks the ability to transport you there. There are limits to the computer because it was given a certain code and certain functions with physical limitations given to it. Same thing with humans. We have the organs to reproduce and the genetic information to grow a person but we lack the same mechanism to grow back limbs. We haven’t evolved to do that yet and our limited DNA keeps us from it at the moment.
