  • The Music of Life

    Biology beyond the Genome

    by Denis Noble ...
    What is Life? Decades of research have resulted in the full mapping of the human genome - three billion pairs of code whose functions are only now being understood. The gene's eye view of life, advocated by evolutionary biology, sees living bodies as mere vehicles for the replication of the genetic codes. But for a physiologist, working with the living organism, the view is a very different one. ... Read more

    How a Tiny Number of Genes Creates The Complexities of Human Thought

    by Gary Marcus ...
    In The Birth of the Mind , award-winning cognitive scientist Gary Marcus irrevocably alters the nature vs. nurture debate by linking the findings of the Human Genome project to the development of the brain. Startling findings have recently revealed that the genome is much smaller than we once thought, containing no more than 30,000-40,000 genes. Since this discovery, scientists have struggled to ...

    An Introduction to Behavioral Epigenetics

    by David S. Moore ...
    Why do we grow up to look, act, and feel as we do?

  • Evolutionary Dynamics

    by Martin A. Nowak ...
    At a time of unprecedented expansion in the life sciences, evolution is the one theory that transcends all of biology.
