The biologically-based origin of the mammalian placenta
Summary: In this open access journal article, Gunter Wagner’s group eliminates assumptions about mutations and ends the obfuscation of biologically-based cause and effect. Experimental evidence […]
A key mutational event? That's not very likely.
theorists argue that the 4.5 million interactive DNA switches in the human genome evolved via random mutations.
Waiting "forever" for something to happen for the "first" time
Stochastic gene expression is not random; it results from nutrient chemicals like glucose entering the cell.
The end of random mutations theory
most people should be closer to thinking in terms of adaptive evolution via ecological, social, neurogenic, and socio-cognitive niche construction, which makes sense.
A "new" form of natural selection?
It’s interesting to see Feldman indicate that “human movements drove a new form of natural selection” as if there was ever any other form of natural selection that had been detailed across species by anyone else.
Epigenetic effects on stochastic gene expression and evolutionary psychology
the epigenetic effects of nutrient chemicals and pheromones that enable the ecological, social, neurogenic, and socio-cognitive niche construction that is responsible for our adaptively evolved behavior.
More complicated than 1-2-3
Has anyone calculated the odds that two 1-2-3 stage dependent exaptation events would concurrently occur?
What to do with research results: Warning!
Why didn’t geneticists or evolutionary theorists realize that random mutations do not cause adaptive evolution or that the epigenetic effects of nutrient chemicals and pheromones do cause adaptive evolution?
Mischaracterizations of adaptive evolution by psychologists and biologists
it is also clear that nutrient chemical-dependent gene duplication is a mechanism of genomic adaptation to a changing environment (Kondrashov, 2012), and that pheromones epigenetically control nutrient dependent-speciation
