Conclusion: Cellular-molecular evolution in the 21st century. .There has been no mechanistic explanation for evolutionary change consistent with phylogeny in the 150 years since the publication of ‘Origins’. As a result, progress in the field of evolutionary biology has stagnated, relying on descriptive observations and genetic associations rather testable scientific measures. This book illuminates the need for a larger evolutionary-based platform for biology. Like physics and chemistry, biology needs a central theory in order to frame the questions that arise, the way hypotheses are tested, and how to interpret the data in the context of a continuum.The reduction of biology to its self-referential, self-organized properties provides the opportunity to recognize the continuum from the Singularity/Big Bang to Consciousness based on cell-cell communication for homeostasis.Evolutionary biologyBiology—PhilosophyDevelopmental biologyPhysiologyGeneticsBiochemistryEvolutionary Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001Philosophy of Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34010Developmental Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L18000Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33000Genetics and Genomicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32000Biochemistry, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14005Evolutionary biology.Biology—Philosophy.Developmental biology.Physiology.Genetics.Biochemistry.Evolutionary Biology.Philosophy of Biology.Developmental Biology.Physiology.Genetics and Genomics.Biochemistry, general.574.87328Torday Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058422Miller Jr Williamauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910380742503321Cellular-Molecular Mechanisms in Epigenetic Evolutionary Biology2499789UNINA
