I’m pleased to announce the upcoming publication of Evolution, Games, and God: The Principle of Cooperation edited by Martin A. Nowak and Sarah Coakley, which resists the presumption that theology and evolutionary theory are inevitably at odds by rationally presenting a number of theological interpretations of the phenomena of cooperation and altruism and finding evolutionary explanation and theology to be strongly compatible.

Excerpt: from the press release: “…examines how cooperation, working alongside mutation and natural selection, plays a critical role in populations from microbes to human societies.”
My comment: Cooperation is nutrient-dependent and pheromone-controlled in my model, which includes the molecular mechanisms common to species from microbes to man. Can anyone tell us how mutations enable natural selection for cooperation?
James Vaughn Kohl was the first to accurately conceptualize human pheromones, and began presenting his findings to the scientific community in 1992. He continues to present to, and publish for, diverse scientific and lay audiences, while constantly monitoring the scientific presses for new information that is relevant to the development of his initial and ongoing conceptualization of human pheromones.
Recently, Kohl integrated scientific evidence that pinpoints the evolved neurophysiological mechanism that links olfactory/pheromonal input to genes in hormone-secreting cells of tissue in a specific area of the brain that is primarily involved in the sensory integration of olfactory and visual input, and in the development of human sexual preferences. His award-winning 2007 article/book chapter on multisensory integration: The Mind’s Eyes: Human pheromones, neuroscience, and male sexual preferences followed an award winning 2001 publication: Human pheromones: integrating neuroendocrinology and ethology, which was coauthored by disinguished researchers from Vienna. Rarely do researchers win awards in multiple disciplines, but Kohl’s 2001 award was for neuroscience, and his 2007 “Reiss Theory” award was for social science.
Kohl has worked as a medical laboratory scientist since 1974, and he has devoted more than twenty-five years to researching the relationship between the sense of smell and the development of human sexual preferences. Unlike many researchers who work with non-human subjects, medical laboratory scientists use the latest technology from many scientific disciplines to perform a variety of specialized diagnostic medical testing on people.
