Increased chemosensory ability and eye regression: a “Just-So” fish story
Author: James Kohl Published Date: December 31, 2012 Leave a Comment on Increased chemosensory ability and eye regression: a “Just-So” fish story
Loss of eyes associated with increased chemosensory abilities leads to a hypothesis of increased tactile sensitivity for food choice and mate choice.
The epigenetics of food choice and mate choice
Author: James Kohl Published Date: August 1, 2011
The all-too-common visual approach to human physical attraction is akin to the visual perception of attractive foods being causal to the development of food preferences.

Food preferences and mate preferences
Author: jim Published Date: August 18, 2010
There is only one animal model for food choice and for mate choice.
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.
