All living beings have a field associated with them which defines their entire biology, just as an electric field defines an electron. The morphic fields provide a force that guides the development of an organism as it grows, making it take on a form similar to that of others in its species. DNA is not the source of structure itself, but rather a "receiver" that translates instructions in the field into physical form. | All living beings have a field associated with them which defines their entire biology, just as an electric field defines an electron.

[[Gallifreyan]]s were the first sentient life to form in this universe, and as a result they established the morphic field for all humanoid species throughout this universe, making these far more likely to evolve via parallel evolution. Non-human races only evolve in environments that would be hostile to humanoids. | [[Gallifreyan]]s were the first sentient life to form in this universe, and as a result they established the morphic field for all [[humanoid]] species throughout this universe, making these far more likely to evolve via parallel evolution.
