After presenting another poster that refutes mutation-driven evolution, I asked a colleague: “Do you know anyone else who might be considering “pheromone-controlled adaptive evolution.” The reason I asked was because I am beginning to realize that my progress will be limited because I am outside academia. I need a collaborator who is on the inside. This is my response to him, since he does not know anyone else who is on the same track as I am.
I’m very glad to see you straying outside your academic field at a time when what Sir Paul Nurse said about the ability of pulses to transmit information (as with Morse Code) can be detailed in the context of ‘dendrons’. See GnRH Neurons Elaborate a Long-Range Projection with Shared Axonal and Dendritic Functions. The dendrons link nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction via subtle changes in the hypothalamic GnRH pulse, which links glucose uptake and pheromones to the conserved molecular mechanisms in species from microbes to man via epigenetic effects on the microRNA / messenger RNA balance. See also the abstract from: Tuning fertility: miRNA regulation of GnRH genetic network, which is a scheduled presentation at the next Society for Neuroscience annual meeting, or see my model.
Note, however, that I am being portrayed as a trouble-maker to participants on the International Society for Human Ethology’s yahoo group at a time when other 2013 ISHE Summer Institute presenters appear to have followed your lead with their publication: A post-genomic view of behavioral development and adaptation to the environment. When so many others continue to cling tightly to random mutations theory, I hope that you have more success teaching the biological facts to evolutionary theorists than I have had during the past two decades. Clearly, the concept of mutation-driven evolution will continue to be a source of great confusion and much more unnecessary suffering in the context of medical practice unless others also step outside their field and integrate interdisciplinary research.
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.
