  • The origin of life I: When and where did it begin?Paul Davies - manuscript
    For decades most scientists assumed that life emerged billions of years ago in a “primordial soup” somewhere on the Earth’s surface. Evidence is mounting, however, that life may have begun deep beneath the surface, perhaps near a volcanic ocean vent or even inside the hot crust itself. Since there are hints that life’s history on Earth extends back through the phase of massive cosmic bombardment, it may be that life started on Mars and came here later, perhaps inside rocks ejected (...)

  • Evolution in Four Dimensions: Genetic, Epigenetic, Behavioral, and Symbolic Variation in the History of Life.Eva Jablonka, Marion J. Lamb & Anna Zeligowski - 2005 - Bradford.
    Ideas about heredity and evolution are undergoing a revolutionary change. New findings in molecular biology challenge the gene-centered version of Darwinian theory according to which adaptation occurs only through natural selection of chance DNA variations. In Evolution in Four Dimensions, Eva Jablonka and Marion Lamb argue that there is more to heredity than genes. They trace four "dimensions" in evolution -- four inheritance systems that play a role in evolution: genetic, epigenetic, behavioral, and symbolic. These systems, they argue, can all (...)

  • Histoire de la notion de vie.André Pichot - 1993 - Editions Gallimard.
    De la notion de vie on pourrait dire ce que saint Augustin disait du temps : "Si personne ne me demande ce que c'est, je le sais; mais si on me le demande et que je veuille l'expliquer, je ne le sais plus." L'ouvrage s'efforce de saisir cette notion à travers les écrits des plus grands théoriciens de la vie, de l'Antiquité à l'aube de la biologie moderne. Il s'agit d'un guide de lecture et d'une gigantesque somme de textes - (...)
