We think of context as a particularly human trait, but it exists in all living things.
But what if intentionality is real, actually is a necessary attribute of living things?
And it would be undeniably cool if the building blocks of living things could differ.

Fish species only represent two to three per cent of all living things in the ocean.
Obviously, minerals do not have genes and thus cannot mutate as living things do.
The ozone layer protects living things on the Earth's surface from the Sun's ultra-violet radiation.
This gives living things the ability to adapt, evolve, quickly without waiting about for a lucky mutation.
These are the qualities of living things, not voice-activate querying software, which is what Siri really is.
By contrast, DNA the molecule that contains the genetic instructions for all living things is stable, durable and dense.

Its first air and soil tests showed strong traces of methane, a compound usually produced by living things.
You may call it instinct, or common sense and all living things seem to have some degree of it.
Then there is the evidence written on the bodies of all living things.
DNA the molecule that contains the genetic instructions for all living things is one of the most effective storehouses of data.

Here were bugs that created hydrazine, an extremely unstable compound, used as rocket fuel, that is poison to most living things.
Patrinos helped launch efforts to learn how to collect living things from such otherworldly environments while he was at the DOE.
All living things, he theorized, have a regulatory effect on the Earth's environment, working together as one complete "superorganism" to sustain life.
It is becoming apparent that most living things have a great deal of genetic diversity, most of which is suppressed and not expressed.
He wished to plumb the secret unities of nature-to learn how living things gained a foothold on land, how land itself was created.
The solids from the water treatment, as mentioned have a lot of organic matter in them, meaning they are useful to other living things.
If you choose to play the murder card, than you should accept that we are both murdering living things to continue our own lives.

This makes sense: in those areas with a high level of radiation, living things would tend to die or sicken and fail to reproduce.
Aboveground testing of nuclear bombs in the 1950s and early 1960s created elevated levels of radioactive carbon that soon became incorporated into all living things.
It will also examine the general chemistry of the sub-surface layers, to see if it is within the limits tolerable by living things on Earth.
Living things also use their shape or structure to enable function.
Nitrogen is by far the most abundant element in the Earth's atmosphere but most of it stays aloof in a form which living things can't use.
But the increased ultra-violet (UV) solar radiation which the damaged ozone allows through to the surface of the earth is a threat to all living things.
People who sometimes have a hard time participating in society do better when they work with living things and know that their work improves our collective society.
But the Merck-bound scientist's main interest has been in the structure and function of proteins, the building blocks of all living things and the basis for most drugs.
Even if the human brain were significantly different in structure and function the basics of behavior, action, social living were all evolved and inherited from all other living things.
