The Plasticity of Development

There's a theory that actually our flexibility, our ability to be phenotypically plastic can actually constrain genetic change. That's why we haven't changed that much. Because our plasticity range is quite large. Right. So we have that plasticity. I know nothing about the genetic control of these exotosis. And I seems to be from just a few bits that I've looked at in these papers that very early on in development, everything is the bones and the joints and are set.
