Abstract
Discrete events and processes influence development of individual future humans. While we do not wish to redefine personhood, we relate a newly discovered epigenetic
event to sources of individuality of future humans. Genetic and epigenetic events and developmental milieu processes diversify developmental trajectories of future individual
humans prior to societal entry via parturition. First, fertilization and epigenetic resetting of each individual’s organismic clock to time zero (t=0) at day 15 of embryogenesis, are two discrete discreet biological events that impact a future individual human’s attributes.
Second, those two discrete discreet biological events are immersed in the continuous developmental process spanning pre-fertilization and gestation, further driving
individualization of diverse attributes of each future human before the discrete blatant biological event of parturition (birth) and societal entry. Exposures of the gravida to
multiple diverse exogenous exposures means that morphogenesis and physiogenesis of every embryo/fetus has individualized attributes for its future human lifespan.
