Normal Genetic Variation of the Human Foot: Part 1 The Paradox of Normal Anatomical Alignment in an Evolutionary Epigenetic Context Greg Quinn, DPodM, FCPodS Quote: Molecular genetics is changing our understanding of the developmental translation of genotype to phenotype between and within different phylogenetic groups. Together with a growing understanding of our own evolutionary relationships to common ancestors, the epigenetic processes involved enforce a reexamination of what is regarded as a normal oot structure . A revised populationist approach is roposed and supported by paleoanthropologic evidence that reflects a picture of emerging suitability for bipedalism that is driven by natural genetic divergence Just noticed Greg had a paper in this months JAPMA – Nice work Greg
