It may very well be that all quadruped species cannot adapt bipedally, but we cannot know that without perturbing the developmental system. Summary and Conclusions It is tempting to show the nice link between probabilistic epigenesis and an epigenetic behavioral theory of evolution; however, that topic has been reviewed in depth in several recent publications (Gottlieb, 1992, 1997), so I will forego that temptation here in favor of sticking to the main point of this article.

Thus the network or pattern of gene activation does not constitute a program, it is both the consequence of, and contributor to, development. (pp.
