Author Description

The Book Covers The Possible Story Of Emergence Of Life And Its Subsequent Evolution, Emphasizing The Necessary Evolutionary Step Negotiation Of A Common Language Set Which Kept All Inhabitants In The Biosphere Together, Ensuring A Basic Level Of Understanding Among Them. The Book Focuses On Protocols Of Communication (both Genetic And Epigenetic) Representing Norms Shared And Understood Across The Whole Biosphere, Enabling A Plethora Of Holobiotic Relationships. Cooperative Nature Of Organismal Evolution And Epigenetic Processes As A Major Force In Evolution Are Also Covered. Topics Discussed Are Illustrated In Detail On Selected Casuistics.
