Jay R. Feierman

In his posts that I have linked below, Jay R. Feierman takes us from random mutations on which natural selection acts to natural selection for phenotypes and changes in the brain that lead to increased reproductive success. According to him, the change in the brain can be called an adaptation. In my model, ecological variation Jay R. Feierman

Cosmos and Feierman: Bamboozled Again

Carl Sagan’s Two Warnings For Humanity In His Very Last Interview – You Might Want To Hear This Excerpt: “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured Cosmos and Feierman: Bamboozled Again

#SFN2019 to 2012: Hiding the facts (7)

Ariel Bazzini linked natural selection for food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled codon optimality to biophysically constrained viral latency via RNA-mediated fixation of amino acid substitutions and sympatric speciation in all living genera.

Sex differences: Liberals vs Conservatives (1)

See first: The tipping point (revisited): 91K (1) Conclusion: Nutrient-dependent/pheromone-controlled adaptive evolution: a model 6/14/13 …the epigenetic ‘tweaking’ of the immense gene networks that occurs via exposure to nutrient chemicals and pheromones can now be modeled in the context of the microRNA/messenger RNA balance, receptor-mediated intracellular signaling, and the stochastic gene expression required for nutrient-dependent Sex differences: Liberals vs Conservatives (1)

Lewis Thomas (revisited): 90K (5)

The mystery of why someone would commit suicide is inexplicable in the context of theories about beneficial mutations and evolution. But, as predicted: …we might fairly gauge the future of biological science, centuries ahead by estimating the time it will take to reach a complete comprehensive understanding of odor. It may not seem a profound Lewis Thomas (revisited): 90K (5)

Bastardized health care (6)

For an example of how one psychiatrist helped to bastardize health care for several decades, see: 7/25/13 Jay R. Feierman: Variation is not nutrient availability and the something that is doing the selecting is not the individual organism. A feature of an educated person is to realize what they do not know. Sadly, you don’t Bastardized health care (6)
