“…Analysis of this data revealed a highly significant difference in mean shape between the actual hand and the body model [Goodall's F(16, 544) = 70.52, P < 0.0001]. The shape of the body model can be depicted as a transformation of the actual shape of the hand, following D'Arcy Thompson (19). Figure 2F therefore shows the shape of the body model, averaged across participants, as a transformation of mean actual hand shape using a thin-plate spline (18).…”

“…The idea that physical forces affect cellular function was put forth a century ago, by Scottish scientist D' Arcy Thompson in his seminal work On Growth and Form 1 . "Cell and tissue, shell and bone, leaf and flower, are so many portions of matter, " wrote Thompson, "and it is in obedi ence to the laws of physics that their principles have been moved, moulded and conformed. "…”

“…Dans la première moitié de ce même siècle, les succès de la théorie de l'évolution occultaient l'importance de ces deux sciences, comme s'en plaignait D'Arcy Thompson [1]. Si son livre avait fasciné et inspiré de nombreuses générations de « penseurs », il n'avait pas de pouvoir prédictif et en conséquence, il n'avait été reconnu que par son élégance, mais pas comme un apport essentiel aux sciences de la vie.…”
