Abstract
AbstractEpigenetics triggers genetic processes in the living. Anticipatory processes pertain to the entirety of life. Understanding their relation is a prerequisite for approaching spiritual aspects of individual and social life. Epigenetic processes associated with non-material promoters are part of the encompassing anticipatory action through which life is preserved. Ideas can be as influential as substances (food, natural poisons, synthetic interventions such as pharmaceuticals or genetic engineering). Empirical evidence of anticipatory expression suggests that epigenetic processes are, by necessity, grounded in the anticipatory nature of life. Based on these considerations, we advance here the hypothesis that what explains the role of religion is the human drive to know.KeywordsAnticipationEpigeneticsGenomeReligionSpirituality
