What book are you reading?
The Bible. What difference does it make?

I'm confused. Which part of the bible discusses the evolution of
histones? Is it one of the Apocrypha?

The Book of Mitochondria, chapter 1 verses 15-22. There's a parallel passage in Organelles 2:12. And in Methylations 5:8 we read "There shall be a pattern on thy heredity, that shall inhibit and regulate thy growth." Most commentators think this refers only to histones and methyl groups, and not regulatory genes, though...

Is this intended to be some kind of sarcasm? My own irony meter is
strongly out of calibration.

No no, it's quite serious (he said blinking coyly). WOuld I make a joke about that?
