La Plasmogenia, Una Nueva Ciencia de la Vida ("Plasmogeny, A New Science of Life?). 330 $aThis book collects three outstanding examples of the work of Mexican biologist Alfonso Luis Herrera (1868-1942), a pioneer in experimental origins of life research. Two of the collected works appear here in English for the first time. Herrera's works represent the attempt to deal experimentally with the issue of an autotrophic origin of life, a possibility that was widely accepted prior to Alexander I. Oparin's ideas regarding the possibility of organic synthesis and the origin of life in an early Earth environment. An active promoter of Darwinian ideas in Latin America, Herrera was also among the first 20th century researchers to attempt to ?create life in a test tube.? This collection shows the remarkable prescience of researchers in Mexico with regards to laboratory approaches to the problem of the origin of life. It also includes a modern commentary by researchers actively engaged in research in prebiotic evolution and the origins of life, and deeply concerned with the historical development of ideas in these fields. The list includes H. James Cleaves, Antonio Lazcano, Ismael Ledesma Mateos, Alicia Negrón-Mendoza, Juli Peretó and Ervin Silva, who discuss in detail the relevance of Herrera's ideas to modern theory and their historical context. The book will expose modern readers and researchers to currents of thinking that have been lost, largely to time and language inaccessibility, of a seminal early theoretical biologist. 606 $aEvolutionary biology 606 $aHistory 606 $aAstrobiology 606 $aBiology?Philosophy 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aAstrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22057 606 $aPhilosophy of Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34010 607 $aMexico$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aEvolutionary biology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aAstrobiology. 615 0$aBiology?Philosophy. 615 14$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aAstrobiology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Biology. 676 $a570.92 700 $aCleaves$b Henderson James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064617 702 $aLazcano$b Antonio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLedesma Mateos$b Ismael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aNegrón-Mendoza$b Alicia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPeretó$b Juli$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSilva$b Ervin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298316503321 996 $aHerrera's 'Plasmogenia' and Other Collected Works$92539448 997 $aUNINA
