Download or read book The Seed on a 7x7 Evolutionary Trajectory written by Milena and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORT DESCRIPTION Solve the puzzle of a Human Seed and its cosmic destiny! Find the answers pertaining to its origin, evolutionary stages and genetic fulfilment, while understanding Life as a celestial programme, the Seed as a biological computer and the Creator as a power beyond religious dimension. Illustrated with 70 artistic black and white drawings. LONG DESCRIPTION Earth is a cosmic greenhouse - a medium of intensive evolution for all life-forms dwelling on it. Our essence-gene comes to this planet and merges with the genes of our mother and father, to create a foetus and to evolve. From the very beginning, we are continuously nurtured and educated by various terrestrial influences. However, there are countless ways in which our cosmic homeland takes care of us too - such as through cosmic currents that shower our planet or through comets that pass it. These celestial energy supplements are prepared and delivered according to the planetary consciousness level and its evolutionary needs. The evolvement and the knowledge we gain here are therefore not solely our personal triumph or a local, planetary, affair - but a result of invisible celestial efforts to activate genetic ciphers of the Human Seeds pulsating on Earth. The structure of this exceptionally worthwhile book resounds the 7x7 code of the Seed's evolutionary trajectory. Starting off with the genesis of a Seed, throughout 7 chapters, author sheds light on the influence of time-energy as well as on the Seed's inner mechanisms for the unfolding of the essential properties that lead to its genetic completion and harmonisation with the collective field. Some of the subjects elaborated, within 7 sections of each chapter, are Human Brain and Thought; Origin of Knowledge, Resurrection; Science and Religion; Creator; Ego and Love. "THE SEED" is an invaluable discourse on human life observed from a cosmic perspective. With profound reflections on the fundamental existential topics, and through the introduction of a cosmic paradigm of human capacity, the book provides a spiritual background for all truth seekers to make their presence on Earth a more meaningful experience and prepares them to meet a new era of human existence. It will particularly excite those individuals who dare to ask why die, why reincarnate and who trust their inner knowing that we are immortal beings. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction - Why dying, why reincarnating; 1 - The Seed and the Introduction - Why dying, why reincarnating; 1 - Cosmic origins; 2 - Energy of time; 3 - Core properties; 4 - Learning through opposites; 5 - Inner mechanisms; 6 - Sprouting of the essence; 7 - Fitting into collective field RIEVIEW The sheer scope and breadth of The Seed I found delightful and awe-inspiring. I experienced the text as a series of truths that resonated with me throughout. The many beautifully drawn illustrations/diagrams add a great deal to The Seed by creating a strong visual atmosphere, bringing the text to life, and clarifying the meanings. Incredibly appropriate quotes from the great scientist Nikola Tesla have been added throughout. These add an extra dimension that reverberates profoundly. The writing of The Seed I would describe as spare and clear, uncluttered and frequently beautiful in its precision. Each sentence conveys its meaning very directly. I found The Seed to be enjoyable and inspiring, and zipped through in a single sitting on each of the two occasions so far that I have read it. During the first reading in particular I transformed. This occurred by a process of stripping back much that is untrue and false, and afterwards felt I was a different person, more real and truly alive. Much of The Seed has been recast from The Knowledge Book, and as such provides an ideal introduction and bridge to that masterpiece of advanced dimensions. I recommend this book to everyone!

Book Synopsis The Evolutionary Imperative by : Charles H. M. Beck
Download or read book The Evolutionary Imperative written by Charles H. M. Beck and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Evolutionary Imperative provides a unifying perspective on the evolution of the universe in all its physical and biological detail, with a call to action for redirecting the evolutionary trajectory of human society. The book’s thesis is that change is inevitable, driven by resolution of energy gradients through the Principle of Least Action and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This energy dissipation model of the evolutionary imperative accounts for all the organization of matter and energy that has ever come about, and offers a transcendent view of the world, and the place and fate of the human species within it.
Download or read book Evolutionaries written by Carter Phipps and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Carter Phipps brilliantly expands our understanding of evolution by showing us that a new science is emerging—one that will holistically integrate our understanding of consciousness, cosmology, and evolution.” —Deepak Chopra Blending cutting-edge ideas with incisive spiritual insights, Evolutionaries is the first popular presentation of an emerging school of thought called “evolutionary spirituality.” Carter Phipps, the former executive editor of EnlightenNext magazine, asserts that evolution is not only a scientific but also a spiritual idea in a book whose message has the power to bring new meaning and purpose to life as we know it. Readers will be fascinated and enlightened by Evolutionaries, a book which Deepak Chopra, the world-renowned author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes, Jesus, and Buddha, says “is going to help create a worldview that will influence our vision of the future direction of evolution and also our role in consciously participating in it.”
Download or read book Social DNA written by M. Kay Martin and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What set our ancestors off on a separate evolutionary trajectory was the ability to flex their reproductive and social strategies in response to changing environmental conditions. Exploring new cross-disciplinary research that links this capacity to critical changes in the organization of the primate brain, Social DNA presents a new synthesis of ideas on human social origins – challenging models that trace our beginnings to traits shaped by ancient hunting economies, or to genetic platforms shared with contemporary apes.

Book Synopsis The Secret of Our Success by : Joseph Henrich
Download or read book The Secret of Our Success written by Joseph Henrich and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How our collective intelligence has helped us to evolve and prosper Humans are a puzzling species. On the one hand, we struggle to survive on our own in the wild, often failing to overcome even basic challenges, like obtaining food, building shelters, or avoiding predators. On the other hand, human groups have produced ingenious technologies, sophisticated languages, and complex institutions that have permitted us to successfully expand into a vast range of diverse environments. What has enabled us to dominate the globe, more than any other species, while remaining virtually helpless as lone individuals? This book shows that the secret of our success lies not in our innate intelligence, but in our collective brains—on the ability of human groups to socially interconnect and learn from one another over generations. Drawing insights from lost European explorers, clever chimpanzees, mobile hunter-gatherers, neuroscientific findings, ancient bones, and the human genome, Joseph Henrich demonstrates how our collective brains have propelled our species' genetic evolution and shaped our biology. Our early capacities for learning from others produced many cultural innovations, such as fire, cooking, water containers, plant knowledge, and projectile weapons, which in turn drove the expansion of our brains and altered our physiology, anatomy, and psychology in crucial ways. Later on, some collective brains generated and recombined powerful concepts, such as the lever, wheel, screw, and writing, while also creating the institutions that continue to alter our motivations and perceptions. Henrich shows how our genetics and biology are inextricably interwoven with cultural evolution, and how culture-gene interactions launched our species on an extraordinary evolutionary trajectory. Tracking clues from our ancient past to the present, The Secret of Our Success explores how the evolution of both our cultural and social natures produce a collective intelligence that explains both our species' immense success and the origins of human uniqueness.
Book Synopsis The Evolution Myth by : Jiří A. Mejsnar
Download or read book The Evolution Myth written by Jiří A. Mejsnar and published by Karolinum Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of life, species, and man continue to interest scientists and stir debate among the general public more than one hundred and fifty years after Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species. The Evolution Myth approaches the subject with two intertwined objectives. Jiří A. Mejsnar first sets out to convey the advances made in cosmology, molecular biology, genetics, and other sciences that have enabled us to change our views on our origins and our relationship with the universe. Scientific advances now allow us to calculate, for example, the age of the universe, the period in which biblical Eve lived, and, with good justification, to reconsider the possibility that the Neanderthals and primates might be our ancestors. The author’s second objective is to use biology to explain why evolution cannot have taken place in the way that is most commonly assumed. Mejsnar builds his case around gene stability and on the sophisticated modern techniques for gene manipulation, the complexity of which make these modified genes inaccessible to nature. Development of life on Earth is a discontinuous, saltatory progression that results in stages following from preceding latent periods in which new forms suddenly appear and possess new types of genome. This, the author argues, is difficult to reconcile with the hypothesis of continuous biological evolution based on the natural selection of random variations. Taking a new approach to a much-debated subject, Mejsnar distills complex information into a rreadable style. The result is a book that as sure to get readers talking.
Book Synopsis Understanding Climate's Influence on Human Evolution by : National Research Council
Download or read book Understanding Climate's Influence on Human Evolution written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-04-17 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hominin fossil record documents a history of critical evolutionary events that have ultimately shaped and defined what it means to be human, including the origins of bipedalism; the emergence of our genus Homo; the first use of stone tools; increases in brain size; and the emergence of Homo sapiens, tools, and culture. The Earth's geological record suggests that some evolutionary events were coincident with substantial changes in African and Eurasian climate, raising the possibility that critical junctures in human evolution and behavioral development may have been affected by the environmental characteristics of the areas where hominins evolved. Understanding Climate's Change on Human Evolution explores the opportunities of using scientific research to improve our understanding of how climate may have helped shape our species. Improved climate records for specific regions will be required before it is possible to evaluate how critical resources for hominins, especially water and vegetation, would have been distributed on the landscape during key intervals of hominin history. Existing records contain substantial temporal gaps. The book's initiatives are presented in two major research themes: first, determining the impacts of climate change and climate variability on human evolution and dispersal; and second, integrating climate modeling, environmental records, and biotic responses. Understanding Climate's Change on Human Evolution suggests a new scientific program for international climate and human evolution studies that involve an exploration initiative to locate new fossil sites and to broaden the geographic and temporal sampling of the fossil and archeological record; a comprehensive and integrative scientific drilling program in lakes, lake bed outcrops, and ocean basins surrounding the regions where hominins evolved and a major investment in climate modeling experiments for key time intervals and regions that are critical to understanding human evolution.

Book Synopsis Evolution's Footsteps by : Jason Michael Funt
Download or read book Evolution's Footsteps written by Jason Michael Funt and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding how phenotypes evolve through natural selection is a fundamental question of biology. Microbial evolution studies provide the rare opportunity to experimentally elucidate the changes that allow an organism to adapt to novel conditions. In an in vitro experimental evolution system, cells evolve in response to a lab-controlled selective environment. In such experiments, the evolved strains may have no fitness-gain in non-stressed conditions, but outperform their progenitors in the selective growth conditions. A complementary in vivo system is monitoring the evolution of drug resistance in microbial pathogens. Identifying the mutations underlying such evolved phenotypes have typically been limited to the identification of regions of interest by low-resolution techniques such as classical genetics or microarray mapping followed by sequencing, and many relevant genes may remain undetected. The recent development of technologies for cost-effective whole-genome resequencing offers the opportunity to comprehensively study evolution in action. Here, I present a combined experimental and computational strategy to detect and study recurrent genetic aberrations accompanying adaptive evolution in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans by whole-genome re-sequencing of evolved strains using Illumina technology. We sequence parental and evolved strains from multiple evolutionary trajectories under the same selective pressure. Our computational approach focuses on the detection of recurrent aberrations - ranging from SNPs to larger variations. We remove variants present in parental strains as background and catalogue subsequent aberrations that persist and co-occur with phenotypic changes. Likely functional changes are identified by recurrence across independent evolutionary time courses. In S. cerevisiae we identify those mutations that are responsible for evolved, adaptive phenotypes, as well as demonstrate that independently arising adaptive alleles, when in the same genetic background, reduce hybrid viability. In C. albicans, we show both large and small recurrent variations that are highly associated with acquisition of fluconazole resistance. Our approach elucidates the function and evolution of key systems in a key model organism and an human pathogen. More generally, our methodology is applicable to a broad range of species, allowing us to trace phenotypic evolution from bacteria to human cancers.
Book Synopsis Adaptation and Natural Selection by : George Christopher Williams
Download or read book Adaptation and Natural Selection written by George Christopher Williams and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological evolution is a fact—but the many conflicting theories of evolution remain controversial even today. When Adaptation and Natural Selection was first published in 1966, it struck a powerful blow against those who argued for the concept of group selection—the idea that evolution acts to select entire species rather than individuals. Williams’s famous work in favor of simple Darwinism over group selection has become a classic of science literature, valued for its thorough and convincing argument and its relevance to many fields outside of biology. Now with a new foreword by Richard Dawkins, Adaptation and Natural Selection is an essential text for understanding the nature of scientific debate.
