    Unless you consider 'outside' to mean things like mutation from
    environmental issues, such as radiation, or biological agents, which,
    IMHO, you should. We can pass our genes in all the usual ways, and sex
    will create a new genetic entity, but, we are not the sole influencers-
    there are many other 'outside' things which can vary our replicators.
