On the Origin of Form: Evolution by Self-Organization

Author: Stuart Pivar,Mark A. S. Ph. D. McMenamin,Richard Milner
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
Category: Embryology, Biology, Life Sciences, Evolution, Developmental Biology, Biodiversity
Book Format: Paperback

On the Origin of Form presents a new account of evolution and the origin of life based on the premise that the body form of any species is encoded not in the DNA but in the patterned structure of the primordial germ plasm--the universal predecessor of the egg.

Two hundred years after Johann von Goethe's Faustian quest for the Urform, the archetypal design underlying all living form, comes the recent discovery that organic forms are derived from a unique, self-organized, pre-embryonic structure. This explanation of evolution is an alternative to the now widely questioned Neo-Darwinist theory of natural selection of random mutations. This new model is based on known, relatively uncomplicated scientific principles and is easily accessible to the interested layman. Included are sixty-four pages of illustrations that support this new theory. For additional information, please visit www.ontheoriginofform.com.
