He who thinks he can have flesh and bones without being subject to any external influence, or any accidents of matter, unconsciously wishes to reconcile two opposites, viz., to be at the same time subject and not subject to change.

There is no gene "for" such unambiguous bits of morphology as your left kneecap or your fingernail.
