Morphogenetic fields are theoretical constructs in biology that suggest a system of organizing patterns for the development of organisms. Proposed by biologist Rupert Sheldrake, these fields are thought to influence the growth and form of living beings, guiding the arrangement of cells and tissues during development. These fields are believed to operate through a form of non-local communication, allowing organisms to inherit not just genetic information but also patterns of behavior and structure from previous generations. This concept challenges traditional views of genetics and development, suggesting a more interconnected approach to understanding life.
