Physics, Chemistry, and Molecular biology (PCMb)
Physics, Chemistry, and Molecular biology (PCMb) link ecological variation to ecological adaptations via a model of gene-cell-tissue-organ-organ system complexity that I first presented in 1992. […]

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.
