Book Description
This is the second edition of the powerful peak evolution paradigm shift. It is the means to leave a lifetime legacy more profound, more meaningful, more impactful, and more valuable to world progress than you thought yourself capable of contributing. Peak Evolution offers a breakthrough new approach to achieving the most evolved states known to mankind. It is a means to have right now the advanced functionality of the future human which will not be prevalent for generations. Peak Evolution serves as an explanation and beacon for people who have spontaneously begun to evolve ahead of the general population, and a road map for those who wish to proactively speed evolution. Peak Evolution is a how-to book for achieving beyond your innate potential by harnessing natural evolutionary forces attempting to ensure the survival and peak performance of all living systems. The multitude of systems inside of our bodies or outside of us in a biological ecosystem, for example, are both kept in balance by these natural evolutionary forces. It is therefore only logical to deduce that those same evolutionary forces are also acting upon us directly. Our cultures have simply interfered with our ability to comply with and capitalize on these forces. Peak Evolution identifies ten signals of those powerful evolutionary forces operating in your life so you can harness that flow to function and achieve goals beyond your potential. Your capabilities are extended by the knowledge, intelligence, mechanisms, processes, and creativity of nature. When you align your internal drives with nature's drives, you cannot help but shift into overdrive. You are perpetually pulled beyond your previous potential into a state of accelerating evolution or 'peak evolution'. This is how ordinary people have been capable of extraordinary achievements.

The Geometry of Evolution
Author: George R. McGhee
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139459953
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
The metaphor of the adaptive landscape - that evolution via the process of natural selection can be visualized as a journey across adaptive hills and valleys, mountains and ravines - permeates both evolutionary biology and the philosophy of science. The focus of this 2006 book is to demonstrate to the reader that the adaptive landscape concept can be put into actual analytical practice through the usage of theoretical morphospaces - geometric spaces of both existent and non-existent biological form - and to demonstrate the power of the adaptive landscape concept in understanding the process of evolution. The adaptive landscape concept further allows us to take a spatial approach to the concepts of natural selection, evolutionary constraint and evolutionary development. For that reason, this book relies heavily on spatial graphics to convey the concepts developed within these pages, and less so on formal mathematics.

Physical Approaches to Biological Evolution
Author: Mikhail V. Volkenstein
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642787886
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
"Mr. Wolkenstein's Physical Approaches to Biological Evolution, whether or not it proves to give the ultimate truth on the matters with which it deals, certainly deserves, by its breadth and scope and profundity, to be considered an impor tant event in the philosophical world." This is a quotation from an introduction written by Bertrand Russell for Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. I exchanged only name and subject. As for the rest, I could continue quoting Russell, but I would rather say something myself. As Wittgenstein did with formal logic, Wolkenstein rectifies our views on how to approach the logic of life from a formal theoretical basis. Many bio logists do not believe that their subject lends itself to the scrutiny of physical theory. They certainly admit that one can simulate biological phenomena by models that can be expressed in a mathematical form. However, they do not believe that biology can be given a theoretical foundation that is defined within the general framework of physics. Rather, they insist on a holistic approach, banning any reduction to fundamental principles subject to physical theory.

The Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of Cichlid Fishes
Author: Maria E. Abate
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9402420800
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 832
Book Description
This volume constitutes the most recent and most comprehensive consideration of the largest family of bony fishes, the Cichlidae. This book offers an integrated perspective of cichlid fishes ranging from conservation of threatened species to management of cichlids as invasive species themselves. Long-standing models of taxonomy and systematics are subjected to the most recent applications and interpretations of molecular evidence and multivariate analyses; and cichlid adaptive radiations at different scales are elucidated. The incredible diversity of endemic cichlid species in African lakes is revisited as possible examples of sympatric speciation and as serious cases for management in complex anthropogenic environments. Extreme hydrology and bathymetry as driver of micro-allopatric speciation is explored in the African riverine hotspot of diversity of the lower Congo River. Dramatic new molecular evidence draws attention to the complex taxonomy and systematics of Neotropical cichlids including the crater lakes of Central America. Molecular genetics, genomics, imaging tools and field study techniques assess the roles of natural, sexual and kin selection in shaping cichlid traits and beyond. The complex behavioral adaptations of cichlids are considered from a number of sub-disciplines including sensory biology, neurobiology, development, and evolutionary ecology. Most importantly, this volume puts forth a wealth of new interpretations, explanatory hypotheses and proposals for practical management and applications that will shape the future for these remarkable fishes in nature as well as their use as models for the study of biology.

Mutation-Driven Evolution
Author: Masatoshi Nei
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191637823
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 605
Book Description
The purpose of this book is to present a new mechanistic theory of mutation-driven evolution based on recent advances in genomics and evolutionary developmental biology. The theory asserts, perhaps somewhat controversially, that the driving force behind evolution is mutation, with natural selection being of only secondary importance. The word 'mutation' is used to describe any kind of change in DNA such as nucleotide substitution, gene duplication/deletion, chromosomal change, and genome duplication. A brief history of the principal evolutionary theories (Darwinism, mutationism, neo-Darwinism, and neo-mutationism) that preceded the theory of mutation-driven evolution is also presented in the context of the last 150 years of research. However, the core of the book is concerned with recent studies of genomics and the molecular basis of phenotypic evolution, and their relevance to mutation-driven evolution. In contrast to neo-Darwinism, mutation-driven evolution is capable of explaining real examples of evolution such as the evolution of olfactory receptors, sex-determination in animals, and the general scheme of hybrid sterility. In this sense the theory proposed is more realistic than its predecessors, and gives a more logical explanation of various evolutionary events. Mutation-Driven Evolution is suitable for graduate level students as well as professional researchers (both empiricists and theoreticians) in the fields of molecular evolution and population genetics. It assumes that the readers are acquainted with basic knowledge of genetics and molecular biology.
