So far, we have seen that inherited representation is eminently suited to formulating DST's thesis about the developmental and evolutionary importance of nongenetic factors. Where natural selection generates information in other inheritance systems (sec. adapted for transmitting selected phenotypes (inheritance systems/class ./cache/work_mgpnevy7fjgbhmnpido5luvwci.pdf ./txt/work_mgpnevy7fjgbhmnpido5luvwci.txt
