Book Description
When Damien Birch a brilliant young geneticist discovers a series of microdots containing binary code in a set of ancient manuscripts written six centuries before Christ he is catapulted into a quest to unravel his own destiny. Buried in the mountains of Tibet an alien craft holds secrets of a radically advanced DNA technology and revelations that expose the genus of the Infinati, a despotic syndicate of eight family dynasties who have been the true architects of war, famine and planetary decay down the ages and still continue their reign of terror today. Assisted by a few trusted friends he embarks on a perilous adventure leading them into the very core of the most clandestine and suppressive regime on earth in a daring plot to undo the hegemony they wield over mankind as a whole. With each discovery comes another twist, another turn in what becomes a desperate struggle to prevent a genetic meltdown of the human race.

Conservation Genetics
Author: V. Loeschcke
Publisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3034885105
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
It follows naturally from the widely accepted Darwinian dictum that failures of populations or of species to adapt and to evolve under changing environments will result in their extinction. Population geneti cists have proclaimed a centerstage role in developing conservation biology theory and applications. However, we must critically reexamine what we know and how we can make rational contributions. We ask: Is genetic variation really important for the persistence of species? Has any species become extinct because it ran out of genetic variation or because of inbreeding depression? Are demographic and environmental stochas ticity by far more important for the fate of a population or species than genetic stochasticity (genetic drift and inbreeding)? Is there more to genetics than being a tool for assessing reproductive units and migration rates? Does conventional wisdom on inbreeding and "magic numbers" or rules of thumb on critical effective population sizes (MVP estimators) reflect any useful guidelines in conservation biology? What messages or guidelines from genetics can we reliably provide to those that work with conservation in practice? Is empirical work on numerous threatened habitats and taxa gathering population genetic information that we can use to test these guidelines? These and other questions were raised in the invitation to a symposium on conservation genetics held in May 1993 in pleasant surroundings at an old manor house in southern Jutland, Denmark.

Genetics of Populations
Author: Philip Hedrick
Publisher: Jones & Bartlett Learning
ISBN: 0763757373
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 690
Book Description
The Fourth Edition of Genetics of Populations is the most current, comprehensive, and accessible introduction to the field for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers in genetics, evolution, conservation, and related fields. In the past several years, interest in the application of population genetics principles to new molecular data has increased greatly, and Dr. Hedrick's new edition exemplifies his commitment to keeping pace with this dynamic area of study. Reorganized to allow students to focus more sharply on key material, the Fourth Edition integrates coverage of theoretical issues with a clear presentation of experimental population genetics and empirical data. Drawing examples from both recent and classic studies, and using a variety of organisms to illustrate the vast developments of population genetics, this text provides students and researchers with the most comprehensive resource in the field.

The Cooperative Gene
Author: Mark Ridley
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743201612
Category : Chromosome replication
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
"Why isn's all life pond-scum? Why are there multimillion-celled, long-lived monsters like us, built from tens of thousands of cooperating genes? Mark Ridley presents a new explanation of how complex large life forms like ourselves came to exist, showing that the answer to the greatest mystery of evolution for modern science is not the selfish gene; it is the cooperative gene." "In this thought-provoking book, Ridley breaks down how two major biological hurdles had to be overcome in order to allow living complexity to evolve: the proliferation of genes and gene-selfishness. Because complex life has more genes than simple life, the increase in gene numbers poses a particular problem for complex beings."--BOOK JACKET.

Genetic Entropy & the Mystery of the Genome
Author: John C. Sanford
Publisher: Ivan Press
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Dr. John Sanford, a retired Cornell Professor, shows in Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome that the Primary Axiom is false. The Primary Axiom is the foundational evolutionary premise - that life is merely the result of mutations and natural selection. In addition to showing compelling theoretical evidence that whole genomes can not evolve upward, Dr. Sanford presents strong evidence that higher genomes must in fact degenerate over time. This book strongly refutes the Darwinian concept that man is just the result of a random and pointless natural process.

The Three Pillars of Evolution Demolished
Author: Jerry Bergman Ph.D.
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664257667
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
The three pillars of evolution, defined as progression from simple molecules to humans, are the origin of life and genetic damage called mutations selected by natural selection. Dr. Bergman documents that the peer reviewed scientific literature has demolished these central pillars of evolution, specifically the origin of life from non-life and the source of genetic variety called mutations honed by natural selection. As genetic research of life has been shown to be increasingly more complex, life from nonlife by natural means is now no longer feasible. Furthermore, most all mutations are partly or wholly deleterious and natural selection serves primarily to reduce the deterioration of life, not evolve life to greater levels of complexity as evolution postulates. In short. the naturalistic evolutionary theory first expounded by Charles Darwin has been falsified by scientific research.
