But before DNA people still didn't believe interspecies reproduction was possible, and darwinists were working with the theory of germ plasm that was compatible with some observations (like negating lamarckian evo). And the germ plasm idea evolved during hpl's life.

Ascribing DNA to Yogg-Sothoth seems exactly the kind of human hubris that Lovecraft specifically disliked.

Also note that humans were the product of experimentation by the Elder Things, themselves no strangers to the gate and the key. Also pretty much all life had been farted into existence by the black goat of the woods anyway.

We knew "ligers" were only good for circus side shows. We even knew which sheep would likely yield fluffeyer wool. We knew quite a bit about DNA I think.

Interesting that Dunwich Horror was written the year after Koltsov hypothesized the general structure and function of the genetic mechanism. The DNA molecule was discovered two years later. They just didn't know the structure was helical until Franklin's x-ray diffraction in '52

Another twist: Lovecraft was making

I’m not particularly well-read in the Cthulhu Mythos, but from my understanding of it, the Outer Gods are supposed to be nigh-omnipotent beings. So while it wouldn’t be possible by conventional biological means, I would assume Yog-Sothoth isn’t limited to that.

We knew distantly related things couldn't interbreed. Watson and Crick did not give us new information about this topic.

But isn't it a new height of vingeanism to mock what you are /assuming/ that the _literally incomprehensible_ can't do?

Well, this paper is about the physical structure of DNA, not its existence (known long before) or function.

Sufficiently advanced biology, or dimensionally transcendent reality warping consciousness allow for yog sothoth not being bound by your puny human under standing of how cosmic laws work.

Incorrect, Levene and Chagraff conducted extensive work on the composition of DNA in the 19th and early 20th century, the helical structure of DNA was revealed in 1953 by Watson and Crick.
