Does what we do affect our bodies enough to change our genetic makeup? [+ favourites]

This idea is taken mostly in the mental sense of things…

It was enough to ask “what is the purpose of life?” and “what am I doing here?”, without having to live up to the concept of what I will now present…

That as we evolve more and more mentally we may be taking on a newer and improved form from the inside to the outside. That coming up with new ideas changes our functional and physical makeup.

The questions are… “Is this true, that newer thoughts will change us, and old thoughts revamped will do the same?” or “Will my new idea just work on the perfect blank canvas of the body (and mind) we already have?”

I guess the idea is whether we are perfect enough now or are we going to attain a new, better form as our minds and such evolve…

Another aspect is, how different are we at the moment in regards to how well evolved are we in regards to others.

What do you think?

I think I see what you're saying...

I do believe that new ideas change our genetic makeup, but only because the new ideas would change our behavior, environment, place on the food chain. I mean if we evolved from anything relating to a monkey, we certainly changed into a creature with less body hair and less strength.
