From odors to autism spectrum disorder
Mosaic Epigenetic Dysregulation of Ectodermal Cells in Autism Spectrum Disorder clearly links the de novo creation of olfactory receptor gene OR2L13, from decreased nutrient-dependent DNA methylation to […]

Ecological variation leads to ecological adaptations
My published 2013 review on ecological variation has been viewed more than 1000 times this month. It seems fitting that this is my 1000th blog […]
Genes and Race: Human History?
Roundup of Book Reviews of Nicholas Wade’s A Troublesome Inheritance My comment: Many reviewers of Wade’s book on genes and race appear to think he has […]
Another slap in the face for evolutionary theorists
From my invited and rejected submission on nutritional epigenetics: Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations: from atoms to ecosystems. (The submission was rejected with another slap in the […]
Epigenetic Transgenerational Actions
Michael Skinner (video) 2014 Forum: Epigenetic Transgenerational Actions of Endocrine Disruptors on Reproduction and Disease The conserved molecular mechanisms of exposure-induced disease. A data-driven presentation […]
Neural systems are manifestations of ecological adaptations
The ctenophore genome and the evolutionary origins of neural systems Excerpt: “More than 300 families of transposable elements constitute at least 8.5% of the genome […]
Ecological adaptations link bats to humans
Is Evolution Predictable? Excerpt: “…evolution is not really predictable because too many chance events can knock it off course.” My comment: Ecological variation predicts nutrient-dependent […]
Context is everything to theorists who exclude biological facts
Biophysical constraints that enable the intermolecular tethering of RNA to DNA also link the epigenetic landscape to the physical landscape of DNA via conserved molecular […]
Soft atheism: a case for Creation
The Case for ‘Soft Atheism’ By GARY GUTTING Excerpt: “…much as I admire Dawkins’s work in evolutionary biology and in enhancing the public understanding […]
