520			_aThis article explores the intersection of omics (comprehensive biological data systems), body studies, and social memes, situating them within contemporary sociological inquiry. It argues that the body, as both a biological entity and a cultural construct, becomes a site where scientific knowledge and social meaning converge. Omics research provides insights into genetic and molecular dimensions of the body, while social memes—units of cultural transmission—shape collective perceptions, identities, and practices. The paper highlights how these domains interact, producing new frameworks for understanding human behavior, health, and social communication. By drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, the study underscores the importance of integrating biological sciences with sociological analysis to capture the complexity of modern identity formation. It situates this dialogue within the Seminar Journal, emphasizing the role of academic discourse in bridging science and society. Generally, it is said about water that it is the most studied compound but the least understood. This holds good to some extent even for our Owen body. The more we dig deeper the more we discover our ignorance, maunder standing, and complexity. – Reproduced
