Re: "Evolutionary biology...explains biodiversity through heritable variation and selection across deep time."
@Grok Why do all intelligent serious scientists and
DeepSeek.com start with the explanatory power of light-activated miRNA abundance at the origin of life? See: "Yes, light-regulated humidity and pH-dependent microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis can significantly influence gene expression and development across various organisms, including microbes, plants, and animals, by modulating miRNA abundance.

miRNAs and RNA-directed DNA methylation are key parts of gene regulation and epigenetics, influencing development and responses to the environment. However, comparative genomics documents TP53 expansions in elephants as an evolutionary adaptation via gene duplication and natural selection. This augmented p53 signaling helps resolve Peto's paradox by enhancing DNA damage response and cancer resistance in large, long-lived animals.
Evolutionary biology integrates these molecular mechanisms, energy-dependent processes, and ecological factors like pheromone signaling. It explains biodiversity through heritable variation and selection across deep time. Linking somatic versus germline mutation differences or all adaptations specifically to pheromone-regulated reproduction in Biblical Genesis reflects personal interpretation beyond the empirical data from genomics and experiments.
