Excerpt: “Ash around the tree contained DNA fragments matching the Angolan free-tailed bat, known to survive infections with Ebola.”
My comment: “This was reported in one of my trade publications as: “… the current Ebola outbreak ravaging three west African nations could have started with fruit bats in Zambia.”
The obvious link from frugivory to vitamin C and DNA repair/stability in frugivous bats seems to have escaped the attention of many researchers, despite its link to adaptive radiation in bats that may carry the virus because of their higher “avian-like” body temperatures.”
Attempts to combat viruses must begin with an understanding of cell type differentiation. Reporting that viruses mutate contributes to obfuscation of facts associated with the nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled stability of organized genomes in species from microbes to man. When only the trade publications of medical laboratory scientists report the link between fruit bats and viruses, only serious scientists will recognize the most likely cause and effect relationship.
Evolutionary theorists and other pseudoscientists will continue to contribute to deaths by viruses that they may seriously think mutate despite what is known about the role that amino acid substitutions play in virulence and in transmission across species.

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.
