Historical origin and current function are different properties
of biological traits.
Finally, the most absurd feature of your scenario is the idea that any extraterrestrial creature would just happen to have, first, DNA as it's basic molecule
of biological information storage, second, cellular machinery anywhere remotely similar to what animals on Earth have, and finally, would just happen to be close enough genetically to be able to mix their DNA with the DNA of any terrestrial being, and come out with a viable result.
No doubt such disasters always have causes which can be expressed in terms
of biological, political, or economic factors.
The Whiteheadian perspective appears to be counter to an emphasis by some biologists, notably that of Stephen J. Gould, in their interpretation
of biological evolution.
But the report acknowledges that human embryology does not of itself give the moral answers: «For example, a recognition
of biological continuity might in some measure undermine the argument that embryo destruction is permissible when certain biological markers or states of development are absent.
Many of the speakers, including many of the scientists, starting with the very opening paper by Cambridge palaeobiologist Simon Conway - Morris, were keen to emphasise above all that whilst accepting fully the rectitude of the science
of the biological theory of evolution (mutation with natural selection), yet a «totality of explanation it is not» (Conway - Morris's words).

of biological evolution stand or fall would not affect this basic perspective, or arguments and insights that follow from this.
So the human response to parents, mixed as it is with duty, guilt, and emotional dependency, appears not to arise out

Mental activity can embrace and rely upon the particulars
of biological processes and biochemical reactions in the nervous system, but our grasp of the workings of the lower processes does not by itself give us an understanding of the nature of consciousness.

Whereas sex is a matter

While we may designate natural selection of adaptive species as the efficient cause
of biological evolution, its final cause may now be defined as the mutual preservation of all biological species on earth.
On the other hand, the presence of a complex and highly developed «culture» among mammalian species (e.g., primates) do not seem to have occurred over the period
of biological evolution on earth.
We have discussed cultural evolution in human societies as an emergent phenomenon
of biological evolution.
The preservation of human life was linked mutually to the presence of other stable forms
of biological organisms; this subsists in a homeostatic and well - balanced ecosystem on earth.
Such adjectives give evidence that the race problem is never wholly a matter
of biological distinction and stratification.

While such a provisional teleology is a useful starting point, it is only partially complete when viewed in the larger context
of biological and cultural evolutions.

of his biological family.
(CE 125, 141 - 142, 149) It is thus not surprising that the course
of biological evolution, in its innumerable branchings, should exhibit so many dead ends (CE 107,116,129), halts (CE 104, 113, 125n, 132, 134), and regressions (CE 40,50 - 51, 100, 127, 131), or that is progress should be accompanied by increasing conflict (CE 103).
By positing a profound tension between freedom and reason (or, in his construction, will and reason), Ockham created a situation in which there are only two options: determinisms
of a biological, racial, or ideological sort, or the radical relativism that, married to irrationalism, eventually yields nihilism.
Attempts at nuclear fusion are not part
of some biological adaptive «survival of the fittest» process but show our transcendence of a merely material law of control and direction.
After some thirty years of study, including several trips of exploration round the world, Darwin outlined a theory

One can readily see that the theory
of biological evolution is completely at variance with what had hitherto been the common view of origins.
