A '''morphic field''' was an energy-like field that defined the entire biology of all living beings. It provided a force that guided the development of an organism as it grew, making it take on a form similar to other species. [[DNA]] was not the source of structure, but rather a "receiver" that translated instructions in the field into physical form. | A '''morphic field''' was an energy-like field that defined the entire biology of all living beings. The idea was first put forth by a [[scientist]] named [[Sheldrake]] in the [[20th century]].

Morphic fields were reinforced by successive generation | Morphic fields were reinforced by successive generation, explaining why there were so many [[humanoid]] races in the universe. The [[Gallifreyan]]s were the first sentient life to evolve in the [[universe]] and so created a morphic field for humanoids. That made it more probable the next race to evolve would be humanoid, which made it much more likely that the following race would be humanoid and so on. The majority of the non-humanoid races developed in environments where two legs, two arms and a head would have been a positive handicap. | ||

[[The Blessing]] was connected to the morphic field of [[human]]ity, particularly around [[Shanghai]] and [[Buenos Aires]]. In those cities, the people around the Blessing always had the same [[lifespan]] as the world average. In [[2011]], the [[Three Families]] changed all [[human]]ity by inserting [[Jack Harkness]]' [[Immortality|immortal]] [[blood]] at both ends, disrupting the morphic field, turning everyone immortal and starting [[Miracle Day]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Gathering (TV story)|The Gathering]]'', ''[[The Blood Line]]'') Jack Harkness guessed from the start a disturbance in the morphic field was responsible for Miracle Day. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rendition (TV story)|Rendition]]'') Jack, [[Rex Matheson]] and [[Gwen Cooper]] were able to reverse the change and Miracle Day by inserting his now-mortal blood into the Blessing at each end.
