Symbiotic Genomics The Archaea That Make Us Human

More about the book

Focusing on the theory of heredity, this book explores how natural cooperation, rather than selection, drives evolution. It details the role of endosymbiotic archaea that secrete RNA viroids, which can transform into DNA viroids and integrate into genomes, influencing gene expression. Environmental factors like global warming and dietary deficiencies promote this archaea-driven endosymbiosis, leading to genomic flexibility. The implications for human evolution, particularly in brain function, immunity, and metabolism, underscore the significance of symbiotic archaea in shaping humanity.
