Human pheromones: epigenetic effects
On10/11/12 I presented the evidence that this cause and effect relationship is common to species from microbes to man using the honeybee model organism as an example (at the Society for Social Neuroscience annual meeting in New Orleans.
Receptor-mediated biological cause and effect
Taken together, these two open-access articles from the supplement offer a concise and reasonably accurate overview of the receptor-mediated events that are required for adaptive evolution.
Human Pheromone Facts and the Out of Africa Theory
Nutrient chemicals and their metabolism to pheromones cause biologically based adaptive evolution. Two things in fact; not the many in theories.
Scientists recreate evolution of complexity using ‘molecular time travel’
…one-way models of evolved complexity don’t work for me, but especially when the “one way” is via degradation.
Pheromones and sexual behavior in birds
Olfactory primacy is central to my model for the development of sexual preferences across species (e.g, including birds).
