Isbn: 9798170726653 - the evolutionary factory of false mysteries: the infectious origin of human intelligence (4 resultados)

PAP. Condición: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What if human intelligence were not a miracle of nature, but a biological scar left behind by a millennia-long infectious siege? Academic science interprets evolutionary milestones-such as the single amino acid substitution in the TKTL1 gene that distinguishes Homo sapiens from Neanderthals-as mere random mutations or stochastic miracles. This treatise subverts this static view, demonstrating that the expansion of the cerebral cortex was an extreme adaptive response to withstand a millennia-long intracellular pathogenic siege. Independent researcher Giancarlo Luzzi merges Nobel Prize-winning discoveries in paleogenetics with translational immunology and systems analysis. The work maps with pinpoint precision how the metabolic pressures exerted by L-forms (cell wall-deficient bacteria) and persistent mycobacterial reservoirs literally hijacked the host's energy pathways. From local tissue asphyxia and nasopharyngeal remodeling to the reactivation of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), cognitive evolution is re-evaluated as an emergency biochemical shield. An incendiary work that shifts the burden of proof back onto institutional science, embedding itself within a closed, logically and formally cohesive, and geometrically unassailable meta-system. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
