Specimen 1 has the ability to change over the course of deep time. the change is genetic and permanent. Specimen 1 lacks a stable course of homeostasis, it can absorb thermal energy but it can not take control over it. Is the specimen alive or not Why?
No, because although it can evolve but it completely lacks any other characteristics of life, for example it states that it cannot maintain homeostasis, and lacks a metabolism
