Book Description
Who are we? Where are we from? These questions have troubled people for centuries. The textbooks have long taught us that human beings evolved from anthropoid apes. Today, a new science, molecular anthropology, tells us this: 7 billion human beings in the world share a common grand, grand…father, the Y-chromosome Adam, and share a common grand, grand…mother, the Mitochondrial Eve. After reading information in this book, you will be convinced that human beings could not be the result of evolution, sudden mutation, or in any way related to the anthropoid apes.

Life's Greatest Secret
Author: Matthew Cobb
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465062660
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Everyone has heard of the story of DNA as the story of Watson and Crick and Rosalind Franklin, but knowing the structure of DNA was only a part of a greater struggle to understand life's secrets. Life's Greatest Secret is the story of the discovery and cracking of the genetic code, the thing that ultimately enables a spiraling molecule to give rise to the life that exists all around us. This great scientific breakthrough has had farreaching consequences for how we understand ourselves and our place in the natural world, and for how we might take control of our (and life's) future. Life's Greatest Secret mixes remarkable insights, theoretical dead-ends, and ingenious experiments with the swift pace of a thriller. From New York to Paris, Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Cambridge, England, and London to Moscow, the greatest discovery of twentieth-century biology was truly a global feat. Biologist and historian of science Matthew Cobb gives the full and rich account of the cooperation and competition between the eccentric characters -- mathematicians, physicists, information theorists, and biologists -- who contributed to this revolutionary new science. And, while every new discovery was a leap forward for science, Cobb shows how every new answer inevitably led to new questions that were at least as difficult to answer: just ask anyone who had hoped that the successful completion of the Human Genome Project was going to truly yield the book of life, or that a better understanding of epigenetics or "junk DNA" was going to be the final piece of the puzzle. But the setbacks and unexpected discoveries are what make the science exciting, and it is Matthew Cobb's telling that makes them worth reading. This is a riveting story of humans exploring what it is that makes us human and how the world works, and it is essential reading for anyone who'd like to explore those questions for themselves.

The DNA Code in the Holy Bible
Author: Stephen L. Avard Jr. Jd
Publisher: Outskirts Press
ISBN: 9781478724001
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 656
Book Description
Secrets of science are hidden in The Holy Bible. God required and inspired Moses and Solomon to include human DNA concepts in the Tabernacle and in the Temple. Stephen L. Avard, Jr., J.D., the author of The Sun Inside Closed Eyes, unveils The DNA Code in the Holy Bible. The DNA Code is not an Equidistant Letter Sequence code. The DNA Code is a concealed code of symbols, numbers, pairs, names, colors, mathematics, and patterns. The DNA Code in the Holy Bible unwraps cellular wisdom to manifest God's creation and His glorious name. Human DNA's numbers, shapes, and components were written down in Exodus and Kings millennia before Watson and Crick's 1953 discovery of the double helix's structure. Take this high concept journey through the mystery of religious science. The unique message will help you see The Holy Bible from a new perspective that is scientific, biological, and timeless. This is a bible study book that combines a personal voice with scholarship. The DNA Code in the Holy Bible shows us that the future of humanity and its DNA will be different from the past. Enter the gate. You will discover The Holy of Holies.

Who Wrote the Book of Life?
Author: Lily E. Kay
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 9780804734172
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
This is a detailed history of one of the most important and dramatic episodes in modern science, recounted from the novel vantage point of the dawn of the information age and its impact on representations of nature, heredity, and society. Drawing on archives, published sources, and interviews, the author situates work on the genetic code (1953-70) within the history of life science, the rise of communication technosciences (cybernetics, information theory, and computers), the intersection of molecular biology with cryptanalysis and linguistics, and the social history of postwar Europe and the United States. Kay draws out the historical specificity in the process by which the central biological problem of DNA-based protein synthesis came to be metaphorically represented as an information code and a writing technologyand consequently as a book of life. This molecular writing and reading is part of the cultural production of the Nuclear Age, its power amplified by the centuries-old theistic resonance of the book of life metaphor. Yet, as the author points out, these are just metaphors: analogies, not ontologies. Necessary and productive as they have been, they have their epistemological limitations. Deploying analyses of language, cryptology, and information theory, the author persuasively argues that, technically speaking, the genetic code is not a code, DNA is not a language, and the genome is not an information system (objections voiced by experts as early as the 1950s). Thus her historical reconstruction and analyses also serve as a critique of the new genomic biopower. Genomic textuality has become a fact of life, a metaphor literalized, she claims, as human genome projects promise new levels of control over life through the meta-level of information: control of the word (the DNA sequences) and its editing and rewriting. But the author shows how the humbling limits of these scriptural metaphors also pose a challenge to the textual and material mastery of the genomic book of life.

Regenesis
Author: George M Church
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465038654
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
A Harvard biologist and master inventor explores how new biotechnologies will enable us to bring species back from the dead, unlock vast supplies of renewable energy, and extend human life. In Regenesis, George Church and science writer Ed Regis explore the possibilities of the emerging field of synthetic biology. Synthetic biology, in which living organisms are selectively altered by modifying substantial portions of their genomes, allows for the creation of entirely new species of organisms. These technologies-far from the out-of-control nightmare depicted in science fiction-have the power to improve human and animal health, increase our intelligence, enhance our memory, and even extend our life span. A breathtaking look at the potential of this world-changing technology, Regenesis is nothing less than a guide to the future of life.

Book Description
The universal claims of both the I Ching, "the book of changes", the compendium of Chinese natural knowledge and the genetic code, "the book of life", encouraged Dr. Schönberger to establish the hypothesis of a general system in nature. He has verified in numerous parallels the congruence of both the I Ching code and the genetic code. The sensational results are detailed for the first time in this book. The "I Ching & the Genetic Code" is an important and exciting link between science and spirituality!
