    About this ebook

    In Book 1, there is discussion of the development of the universe, the galaxies and the earth. A careful, though cursory, scientific examination of the mechanisms involved in the progression of molecules to metazoan species follows. The author promulgates the interesting concept that evolution of highly organized systems under appropriate conditions is a necessity rather than occurring by chance. He proposes that within a species, Darwinian selection plays a role in adapting the species to changing conditions, but that does not account for the sudden appearance of a species with remarkably new characteristics. Rather, he proposes that radical changes in physical or psychological environment can lead to the emergence of a new species from a small outlying group composed of markedly different genetic make-up. Natural selection then leads to adaptation of the newly developed species.
    Another point stressed by the author is that disease and behavior cannot be understood completely from the analysis of genes and their protein products. The presentation emphasizes the role played by post-translation modifications and alteration of protein configuration in space in phenotypic expression. One could add the important role that small non-coding RNA molecules, such as interfering RNA (iRNA), play in regulation of the transcription of DNA into RNA and thereby modulate the expression of proteins. In this manner, the DNA genes’ effect on phenotype can be dramatically modulated.
    This book concludes with discussion of amphibians, reptiles, mammals and primates and their development in relation to changes in the environment that each encountered.

    Roland Maes

    Roland Maes was born in 1935 in Belgium. After acquiring a degree in zoology at the Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium), he studied virology at the Max Planck Institute for Virus Research (Tübingen, Germany) and at the Wistar Institute of Anatomy (Philadelphia, USA). He worked during a year at St Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, always in virology and thereafter was during four years Research Officer for the Pan American Health Organization, stationed near Rio de Janeiro, where he worked on hoof and mouth disease and interferon. He moved thereafter shortly to Brussels (European Headquarters of Travenol) and then to Strasbourg, where he was active at the Richardson-Merrel Research institute. He resolved to create his own company in Strasbourg, working mainly on the development of diagnostic tools for tuberculosis and on alternative medicine. This occupation put him in close contact with developing countries of the Asian and African continent. R. Maes is the author of numerous scientific publications.
