“…the answer in biology is always “yes.” Could it be this or could it be that? Yes. The growth and maintenance of living things like us is a delicate (but also robust) dance of cause and effect, cascading up and down the hierarchy of scales in space and time. This leads to that, but then that creates a new this. It’s for this reason that life can only be understood as a dynamic process of becoming-from conception to the grave."
