Thing is, it seems to me like some sort of 'master control' needs to know what signals to emit. Which sounds like it has to have a 'blueprint' of what the entire organism should 'look' like? I always think of some lil control room going "ok..we need a heart and 2 lungs...send out the heart signals, and send out 2 lung signals" (electrical or chemical or whatever the signals are) Just amazing such 'simple' organisms manage to co-ordinate all this stuff... Thanks

Homeobox genes [0] are relevant when it comes to pretty high level "heads go on that end, butts go on that end" stuff. There's also this parody video of Despacito [1] that may be, er, educationally amusing.
