What you see in living systems, and in genetic systems, is that the genes are already there, having arisen in the course of time, and when they are needed they become activated. if they had to be invented, the time would be too late.

Would Be Too Late Genes

More From Jonas Salk

Complex organisms cannot be construed as the sum of their genes, nor do genes alone build particular items of anatomy or behavior by themselves. most genes influence several aspects of anatomy and behavior as they operate through complex interactions with other genes and their products, and with environmental factors both within and outside the developing organism. we fall into a deep error, not just a harmful oversimplification, when we speak of genes "for" particular items of anatomy or behavior.

We invented marriage. couples invented marriage. we also invented divorce,mind you. and we invented infidelity,too, as well as romantic misery. in fact we invented the whole sloppy mess of love and intimacy and aversion and euphoria and failure. but most importantly of all, most subversively of all, most stubbornly of all, we invented privacy.

When we started, i was delivering meals to people in atlanta. we were a direct-care organization. and it was - people needed meals, they needed transport, they needed medication, they needed buddy systems. they had a death sentence. there was azt, and that was just prolonging the agony, basically. now people, of course, if they are on antiretrovirals, they face a lifetime of health, basically. i mean, it doesn't - it's i would say in the 99 percent certainty bracket that if you are on that medication, you will have a healthy life.

It was obvious-to me at any rate-that the answer was to why an enzyme is able to speed up a chemical reaction by as much as 10 million times. it had to do this by lowering the energy of activation-the energy of forming the activated complex. it could do this by forming strong bonds with the activated complex, but only weak bonds with the reactants or products.
Strong Energy Enzymes
We can now determine, easily and relatively cheaply, the detailed chemical architecture of genes ; and we can trace the products of these genes ( enzymes and proteins ) as they influence the course of embryology . in so doing we have made the astounding discovery that all complex animal phyla - arthropods and vertebrates in particular - have retained, despite their half-billion years of evolutionary independence, an extensive set of common genetic blueprints for building bodies.

I thought that if the right time gets missed, if one has refused or been refused something for too long, it's too late, even if it is finally tackled with energy and received with joy. or is there no such thing as "too late"? is there only "late," and is "late" always better than "never"? i don't know.

Everybody has accepted by now that change is unavoidable. but that still implies that change is like death and taxes - it should be postponed as long as possible and no change would be vastly preferable. but in a period of upheaval, such as the one we are living in, change is the norm.

No western government has ever played the long-term in terms of foreign policy.

Nothing is more unaccountable than the spell that often lurks in a spoken word. a thought may be present to the mind, and two minds conscious of the same thought, but as long as it remains unspoken their familiar talk flows quietly over the hidden idea.
