It has become commonplace within the world of reductionist biology to presume that all ponderable qualities of living matter (including the morphology, cell development, and purpose of both cells and individual members of species), are shaped entirely by DNA.
What’s interesting about Clarage’s videos is that he exposes the mystery of electricity affecting the “immortal worm” and that of no two snowflakes being alike—but does not pretend to have the answer. Religion rushes into mysteries of the universe and proclaims they are the work of God. I think it is best, like Clarage, to tread lightly in absence of proof. This is also why I like Stephen Gould.
We humans are so closely related to four great apes (chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans) that we barely differ enough to deserve our own genus. We share 98.8% of both chimpanzee and bonobo DNA – both are equally our ancestors (Frans de Waal). In "Ever Since Darwin" Gould then asks the important question: “If the overall genetic distance is so small, then what has caused such a divergence in form and behavior? … Liver cells and brain cells have all the same chromosomes and all the same genes. Their profound difference does not arise from genetic constitution, but from alternate paths of development. During development, different genes must be turned on and off at different times in order to achieve such disparate results from the same genetic system. In fact, the whole MYSTERIOUS PROCESS of embryology must be regulated by exquisite timing in the action of genes. To differentiate a hand from a homogeneous limb bud, for example, cells must proliferate in some areas (destined to be fingers) and die in others (the spaces between them).” And that's as far as we can go at this time.
Dr Clarage has been a favorite on mine for many years. For more on this topic look into Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic resonance. And for experimental examples, look into the Ebner Effect.

Great write up. Love anything to do with the Sapphire Project...very exciting work imho.
