Making new evolutionary innovations (Introduction)

DAVID: The only cells I know of that are pristine are stem cells. How do individual groups of them in different parts of the body communicate to decide on a major change? I still thinks it needs an agent.

dhw: Stem cells may well be the key to the whole evolutionary process. Cell communities would communicate in the same way as when they decide on a minor change. Why do you think cells are incapable of communication when all the articles you have presented here illustrate that very process?

DAVID: Of course I know cells communicate in their daily duties in my articles. We know of nothing further. How they can arrange to design is my issue.

So why did you ask how they communicate? I know you don’t think they are capable of cooperating in order to design something new, but communication is not an issue.
