DNA WIRING:   DNA spaces the teeth of the sawfish blade (the rostrum) of a sawfish.  But, DNA doesn’t just space things structurally, it also spaces them behaviorally.  Spaced-out birds on a power line are an example of this.  So are puppies laying on top of each other and rattlesnakes crawling over each other. The solitary habits of a badger are also wired in by the DNA.

DNA WIRING:    The sawfish rostrum has thousands of ampullae of Lorenzo which detect electrical fields of prey. It’s a sensing devise that can detect electrical fields 16 feet away in murky waters!

DNA  WIRING:    DNA has codes written on it which wire all kinds of things into animal and insects.  Dogs lick to show affection and cats rub you and purr in Japan, South Africa and California.  Why?  Dog and Cats and dogs follow their parents example and do it.

DNA  WIRING:    DNA wires in behaviors like the shepherding instinct of border collies and also brain wiring for muscle firings like the movements of the galloping of a horse.

DNA  WIRING:    With insects, the wiring for a movement is never entirely built in the brain from the get-go.  A bee cannot walk and fly instantly upon leaving its cell.  It must spend several days perfecting the movements.  

DNA WIRING:    More complex movements like the eagle’s movements used for flight must be mastered over time.  The DNA puts basic wiring in and the eagle must practice to refine it. A puppy must practice to learn how to run.  A baby has wiring to crawl, but it must practice it to complete the wiring.

DNA WIRING:   Hummingbirds have complex figure-8 wing movements. These movements of the wing are more wired in from the get-go than a horse’s running nerve firings are. Why?  If it weren’t so, the baby hummer would jump out of the nest and plop to its demise. But a horse can run and fall with no damage.

DNA WIRING:   There is a point in flight when a bird is landing where the forward speed is not sufficient to keep the bird up in the air well.  Jets have the same problem. Wing ailerons are closed (brought up) to give it more lift so the jet doesn’t drop out of the sky.

DNA WIRING:   Birds have a group of 20-60 feathers called the alula feathers which are attached to a wing bone. 

DNA WIRING:   As a bird hits the stalling speed when it is about to land, the bird’s brain activates the alula feathers. These feathers make the air hug the wing more tightly causing more lift.  As one experimenter said, “The alula helps birds to land elegantly.” The alula feathers’ movements and the timing of them are entirely wired in as far as we know.
