Evolution 2.0: Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design
<div><span><b>When Charles Darwin wrote "Origin of Species," cells were considered gobs of goo.</b> But today we know NASA astronaut Scott Kelly's body altered its own gene expressions in just one year (!) when he traveled to space and back. His body executed a direct evolutionary response to the rigors of the International Space Station.<br /><br />Such new discoveries demonstrate how obsolete Neo-Darwinian ideas about random mutation were. New knowledge was resisted for decades. Why? Because it overturned entrenched norms, popular beliefs, accepted paradigms.</span><br /><br />The old-school Darwinism of yesteryear is dead on arrival. It has been replaced with a new synthesis. If you've been dissatisfied with the choice between dogmatic creationism and meaningless Darwinism, you'll be reassured to find there is a third way. <br /><br />Evolution 2.0 pinpoints the central mystery of biology, offering a $10 million technology prize at naturalcode.org to the first person who can solve it - staffed by judges from Harvard, Oxford, and MIT.<br /><br />Evolution 2.0 is the first book written in plain English that correctly explains how evolution works. Cells posses an evolutionary "Swiss Army Knife" toolkit with five blades. <br /><br /><b>Evolution isn't random events. It's RESPONSE to random events.</b> <i>Evolution 2.0</i> proves that, while evolution is not a hoax, neither is it random nor accidental. Changes are targeted, adaptive, and aware. You'll discover:<br /><br /><li>How organisms re-engineer their genetic destiny in real time</li><li>Amazing systems living things use to re-design themselves</li><li>Every cell is armed with machinery for editing its own DNA</li><li>The five amazing tools organisms use to alter their genetics</li><li>70 years of scientific discoveries, of which the public has heard virtually nothing!<br /><br />Perry Marshall, as an engineer, rejected the concept of organisms "accidentally" evolving. But then an epiphany, that DNA is code, much like data in our digital age, sparked a 10-year journey of in-depth research into 70 years of under-reported evolutionary science. This led to a new understanding of evolution, an evolution 2.0 that not only furthers technology and medicine, but fuels our sense of wonder at life itself.<br /><br />This book will open your eyes and transform your thinking about evolution and spirituality. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for our place in the universe. <b>You'll gain a new appreciation for the urgency of these questions as we plunge into this brave new world of genetic engineering.</b></li></div>
