Evaluation of Evolutionary Theory of Altruism And The Role Of Genes-A Modern View Background: Evolutionary theory holds that organisms with the strongest genes for survival and reproduction do‚ in fact‚ survive and reproduce most successfully. They thus multiply their genes most widely‚ spreading the advantageous genes through whole populations. Ceaseless repetitions of the process can gradually transform species into totally new ones. Such a world seems to have no place for self-sacrificing

It can be argued that the universe is too complex for evolutionary theory to explain it with reference to intelligent design. This states that some organisms are way too complex to have been created through evolution.

Evolutionary Bioenergetics of Protocells Introduction Bioenergetics is central to our understanding of living systems‚ though there has been very less research in field of finding the origins of life. Understanding the origin of cellular life on Earth requires the discovery of plausible pathways for the transition from complex prebiotic chemistry to simple biology‚ defined as the emergence of chemical assemblies capable of Darwinian evolution. A coherent pathway which starts from no more than
