The Myth of Junk DNA

More about the book

Challenging the notion that "junk DNA" supports Darwinian evolution, biologist Jonathan Wells argues that labeling the non-protein coding portions of our genome as useless is a misguided belief. He contends that this perspective not only misrepresents scientific evidence but also hinders research and is rooted in theological rather than empirical reasoning. Wells advocates for a reevaluation of the genome's complexity, suggesting that the idea of "junk DNA" is more of a myth than a scientific fact.
