A mathematical theory proposed by Alan Turing in 1952 can explain the formation of fingers
Score one for Raymond Peat, PhD. Is our body like a fractal? Remember:
In one of the most astounding developments in Western scientific history, the gradient-field, or epimorphic field concept, as embodied in normal ontogeny and as studied by experimental embryologists, seems to have simply vanished from the intellectual patrimony of Western biologists. (Gilbert et al. (1996), p. 360)
The idea of a developmental field was a fundamental part of embryology in the first half of the 20th century. It was an empirical idea, supported most commonly by evidence that diffusing substances and secreted materials governed the differentiation of cells and tissues, but the form-generating effects of bioelectric fields were also often demonstrated, and there was some evidence that tissue radiations played a role. The extracellular matrix secreted by cells served to transmit information between cells, but its form was regulated by cells, and its structure was a factor governing the cells' differentiation.
Electromagnetic cellular interactions
External signals and internal oscillation dynamics: biophysical aspects and modelling approaches for interactions of weak electromagnetic fields at the cellular level
The monomania involving our genetic code starts to appear as the biggest waste of time in the last one hundred years.
