The science is summarised in Rose, Lifelines, Chapter 5. He concludes that 'Far from being isolated in the cell nucleus, magisterially issuing orders by which the rest of the cell is commanded, genes, of which the phenotypic expression lies in lengths of DNA distributed among chromosomes, are in constant dynamic exchange with their cellular environment'.

[68] The only real attempt to do so, in the form of the 'meme', has not received a great deal of support outside evolutionary psychology. Memes are ideas or thoughts passed on in an analogy of genetic inheritance, but they are just 'there' and do not have to be expressed to qualify as memes. Smail concludes that if this is the case, memes 'have retreated to so ethereal an ontological status that we really do not need to take them seriously'. Smail, On Deep History, 97.
