Quantum Mechanics, Cell-Cell Signaling, and Evolution Summary

Quantum Mechanics, Cell-Cell Signaling, and Evolution by John S. Torday (Professor of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Evolutionary Medicine, University of California- Los Angeles, USA)

Quantum Mechanics, Cell-Cell Signaling, and Evolution offers a detailed accounting of the latest research and theorizing on the integration of quantum physics with biological action to produce a novel perspective on evolution. The book advocates for a paradigm shift towards understanding biology and medicine causally as predictive sciences, presenting quantum mechanics and physiology as vertically integrated. The author has taken a unique approach to the question of how and why evolution occurred. The account is based on extensive knowledge of lipid physical chemistry, and its role in the evolution of the lung under the influence of hormonal effects on structure and function. The title arranges lipid biochemistry and biophysics into an integrated explanation, guiding readers from the immersion of lipids in water as the origin of life, to lung surfactant in alveolar homeostasis, and leading to a new understanding of how consciousness interacts with the laws of nature. This volume argues for a novel understanding of evolutionary processes based on fundamental science and positions itself as seeking consilience among research disciplines. Starting from the origins of the cosmos, the author proceeds through nucleosynthesis and Endosymbiosis Theory, to finally describe consciousness in relation to natural law.

About John S. Torday (Professor of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Evolutionary Medicine, University of California- Los Angeles, USA)

John S. Torday is Professor of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Evolutionary Medicine, at the University of California- Los Angeles, USA. He has published over 200 papers on lung biology, and over the course of the last 20 years, more than 100 peer-reviewed articles regarding the evolution of physiology based on cellular-molecular principles of development and phylogeny, by exploiting cell-cell signalling as the underlying mechanism. In addition, he has authored or co-authored six books on this topic that are unique to the literature on biology, medicine, cell biology, developmental biology and pathophysiology. He has taken a unique approach to the question of how and why evolution has occurred based on extensive knowledge of lipid physical chemistry, having studied its role in lung evolution under the influence of hormonal effects on structure and function developmentally, physiologically and pathologically.
