This site explores the possibility that genetic variation and natural selection are two sides of a unitary and simultaneous response to the struggle for existence, as recent experiments at Harvard and elsewhere on bacteria imply.

TOWARDS A NEW THEORY OF EVOLUTION This work proposes a fundamental theorem of evolution, which is that variation and Darwinian selection are simultaneous and have the same cause: competition, or the struggle for existence. This idea can be the basis for...Journal is dedicated to bringing Darwin's dream-to "have fairly true genealogical trees of each great kingdom of Nature"-within grasp. Provides a forum for molecular studies that advance the understanding of phylogeny and evolution.

Explores the structural relationship between cosmological symmetry-breaking and the form of molecular evolution leading to biological systems on Earth. It thus forms an alternative to historical hypotheses in which the form of biogenesis is believed to be the product of a linked sequence of specific conditions, bridged by stochastic selection processes.
