Publisher's Synopsis
While Charles Darwin was and will always remain the giant intellect who invented the field of evolutionary biology, while he was conducting research to develop his theory, he had very few facts to work with. So his accomplishment was especially incredible considering the little data he had at hand. Many decades after his death, finally enough facts about biology and evolution have trickled out with which one can complete the second and missing half of the theory of evolution that Darwin could not possibly have seen in his time. The evidence has been mounting for years, and has been ignored by years, by mainstream scientists, that the "selfish gene" paradigm is woefully inadequate to explain much of what is observed in the world around us. This book completes the theory of evolution to conclusively and simultaneously solve all the remaining conundrums and paradoxes that have been plaguing evolutionary theorists for decades such as the existence and purpose of of sex and aging, male and female sex types, and even homosexuality. Written in an entertaining and easy to understand style for normal readers and scientists alike. This radical new view of evolution leads to many unexpected solutions to evolution's remaining paradoxes. One chapter includes a detailed examination of how various human hormones change with aging, and how the "good" hormones decline with age, and how the "bad" hormones intentionally designed by evolution to kill you, skyrocket after age 50. This book contains many interesting and thought-provoking, color photos. This is a groundbreaking new look at and explanation of the mysteries of evolution that have been have been plaguing mainstream science since the first publication of Darwin's theory of evolution. Sex and aging have never had any satisfactory explanation within the Selfish Gene paradigm begun by Darwin and his disciples, and popularized by Dawkins in his famous book-"The Selfish Gene". Aging and Sex are conclusively shown to be evolution's evolved defenses to evolving predation, and in the absence of predation, they will eventually become undone-leading to a world where humans eventually should evolve into a new asexual species! As odd as this sounds, examples of many types of animals where asexual reproduction already occurs are provided. Including animals as complicated as turkeys, sharks, and lizards. Homosexuality, almost totally ignored by evolutionary biologists, is examined and shown to also be a defense against evolving predation that acts as birth control for what evolution perceives as less fit (predator-stressed) mothers. Even human religion as an evolved defense to famine and drought is explored and explained with a special emphasis on the high rate of religious suicide associated with various religions and cults. Sex and Aging are examined and shown to be species-selected defenses to evolving predation that are being selected for at the local ecosystem level virtually everywhere and all the time.
