      That is mental development, not the development of your DNA.
      Your DNA is not separate from your mental functions. How do you think your arm moves and picks up a coffee cup. It didn't mutate the kettle on.


      The neural paths responsible for motor skills become more refined with practice
      The neural paths didn't start improving by themself we cause ourself to improve and decided that we wanted to become skilled.

      complexity and efficiency for different mathematical equations. Note, it is not the DNA that changes.
      Neural paths are connected to the body and the body is connected to DNA. The DNA would contain data of itself even if you do not understand or see how it correlates. Your assumption that you know everything is fascinatingly restricting to your ability to see the obvious.


      DNA only deals with Protein synthesis directly by coding for the different RNA strands responsible for the production of X protein. It does not get affected by mental thought processes!
      We know on a mundane and quite frankly useless level that what is called a protein synthesis is a theory for some DNA encodement. But this doesn't warrant it a sensible idea to jump to the conclusion there is no connection between your DNA and what you end up thinking and deciding.


      DNA is what forms your body, not your mind.
      If you had no mind your body would die. Despite this you think mind has no relation to your body and no relation to your DNA. Yet if the mind can give orders to the body it can give orders to the DNA.

      For studying self, you look towards the mind and the vast network of neurons that is the brain. For body chemistry and the processes that govern individual cells, DNA is what you look at, along with all the other organelles within a cell.
      You don't look solely at the neurons in the brain alone. That is only one aspect of the function of your entire body. If you want to study a computer you don't just look at the monitor you have to look at all parts connected with it to get the full picture. The heart is actually the center of the magnetic forces which ultimately trigger the neurons. Why do I have more sense than you without a textbook.


      Learn a Biology textbook
      I'll study a textbook if you choose a goal for yourself other than what is in a textbook. Deal?

      That is to do with motor neurons, not DNA. Fail number one.

      They improve just from some sort of activity. DNA does not change though. It remains the same throughout your life. Otherwise, criminals could simply change their lifestyle and 'learn' to be different in order to fool DNA tests.

      Tu quoque, Minerva. I don't assume to know everything, but this so much happens to be a topic I know quite a bit about. I'm not an expert on history though...

      The links are developmental, not influential. You don't influence your genes to change, and with Protein Synthesis, there's the whole fucking field of Molecular Biology to call on your bullshit. Now where is that elusive proof of yours with regards to your claims?

      Comas, vegetative states, etc. How do you explain them then? Also, more citation needed for comments marked in bold.

      ... Seriously... Proof or STFU

      Because with education, the more likely I am to earn a big fat wad of cash for a salary.

      I think that is incentive enough, don't you think? Not to mention you could actually, you know, contribute to society in a meaningful way.
