Active Biological Evolution, the new book by Frank H. Laukien, Now Available!
Charles Darwin’s seminal book On the Origin of Species brought one of the greatest revolutions in science. … Fisher, Haldane, Wright and Huxley wrote the Modern Synthesis with genetics. … Waddington, Gould, Pigliucci and Müller brought us the Extended Synthesis. Frank Laukien and others have been extending the synthesis even further, emphasizing how evolution is not just random mutations, but actively accelerated and driven by feedback. … We are in the Age of CRISPR, [with] relevance of evolution to our daily lives, with potent medical implications. —George Church, Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School; Author of Regenesis

The underlying active mechanisms of change generation, which enable efficient adaptive evolution, have eluded biologists for decades. Until now...
The prevailing scientific view still holds that organismal and cancer evolution is largely a function of accumulated random genetic mutations and natural selection.
While inefficient random mutations were the primary mechanism of evolution during early life on Earth that still play a prominent role in pathobiology...
in the modern era of biology, genomic adaptive change generation prior to Darwinian selection is primarily the result of feedback-driven, active cell biology processes.
