Blog comment from a reader: The first living things on Earth, single-celled micro-organisms or microbes lacking a cell nucleus or cell membrane known as prokaryotes, first appeared on Earth almost four billion years ago. After a hundred thousand years or more of evolution and natural selection, these early forms became more and more complex, eventually…

You don’t have to keep your opinions silent if you’re willing to listen to others The very open-minded Lucas Rockwood graciously invited me onto his Yoga Talk Show to discuss my reasons for investigating the subject that eventually became Evolution 2.0.

The two sides had already exchanged views in a 2014 Nature Comment, “Does evolutionary theory need a rethink? Researchers are divided over what processes should be…

He conducted experiments and stated them in a famous paper titled “Creation of a Bacterial Cell Controlled by a Chemically Synthesized Genome.” “I have an immense respect for Craig Venter, whom I consider one of the smartest…
