Imagine that you're a race that sees in DNA and your scientists try to figure out how those structures are formed by looking at the external structures of living things.
This is one of my problems with science and, really, most people's perspective on things. There is a tendency to give investigation of the world and the nature of things to those with money and credentials, when we are eternally surrounded by all the evidence we need to reach completely different and equally profound conclusions.
