Evolution of Evolution
The Survival Value of Caring
What is desperately needed is the realization of the evolutionary survival value of caring for others. This book links our humanities to a scientific understanding of human destiny to provide a key to meaning. We don’t have ‘forever’ to ‘get it!’

The God Molecule
Evolution of tRNA and the Genetic Code
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a molecular fossil that tells the story of the evolution of the genetic code and the origin of life. Analysis of its pre-life sequences provides clear insights into how life began and shows why tRNA is required to generate life on Earth or another planet.

How Life Emerges from Inanimate Matter
From Atoms to a Living Individual
This book describes how life emerges from inanimate matter. It analyzes this transition as it occurs in space, from simple particles to individuals; in time, through biological evolution; and in embryonic development, offering a unique, multi-disciplinary analysis of all three.

Contributors to this book accept an evolutionary account of life, mind and religion. However, they hold divergent views on the relation of mind to brain, the validity of religious belief, and how even Christ may be seen as an aspect of the evolutionary process.

The biological role of heterochromatin, our non-coding DNA, is a mystery. This study of Q-heterochromatin variability in humans reveals that differences are related to environmental factors, not race, and that our ability to adapt to extreme conditions depends on its amount.

Long Non-Coding RNA
From Disease Biomarkers to Targeted Therapeutics
Once dismissed as genomic “noise,” Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are now known to regulate genes and are involved in diverse diseases like cancer. As their mechanisms are still ambiguous, this book provides a comprehensive account of lncRNA research.
