Excerpt: “With increased crowding and air travel putting us at risk, Crawford wonders whether we might ever conquer microbes completely, and whether we need a more microbe-centric view of the world.”
My comment: A more microbe-centric view includes the fact that adaptive evolution is nutrient-dependent and pheromone-controlled in species from microbes to man. The apparent danger to us all is random mutations theory, since it is an enabler for theorists who like to tell stories that have no basis in biological fact.
For contrast, Greg Bear included the HERV effect in a story about evolution of a new species of humans who communicated their species-wide difference via pheromones. He took what he called “the next logical step, ” which links microbial signalling to human pheromones more than a decade ago. That led to his presentation in 2004 to the American Philosophical Society.
Is Bear a forward-thinking research scientist with academic credentials and superior insight into the molecular biology of adaptive evolution? No! He’s a novelist who makes more sense in two science fiction novels than evolutionary theorists have made in more than 150 years. Presentation excerpt: “Neural networks from beehives to brains solve problems through the exchange and the selective cancellation and modification of signals.” The signals, of course, are nutrient-dependent hormones and pheromones.
I wonder how much longer it will be until others begin to comment on how ridiculous random mutations theory is — and always has been. It would be great to hear from others who take the time to educate themselves after reading the news article linked here, and minimally, these abstracts. Evidently, we’re not going to hear from the theorists until all this is forgotten, if ever again the biological facts are forgotten (or continue to simply be ignored).

James V. Kohl detailedl how quantized energy-dependent microRNA biogenesis links the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction to biophysically constrained viral latency and healthy longevity. Links from what organisms eat to the enzyme-dependent metabolism of food also link metabolic networks to microRNA-mediated genetic networks in the context of RNA interference. Drug therapies alter RNA interference by altering cell type differentiation in all cells of all individuals of all species. For comparison, during the past 26 years, Kohl has detailed how the chemistry of protein folding is biophysically constrained at every level of biological organization by conserved molecular mechanisms.
