Exploring Genome’s Junkyard: In the Labyrinth of Evolution narrates the progress of biological evolution, beginning with the conceptual introspection of gene and continuing with the contemporary understanding of the structural and function aspects of the human genome. Recent advances in human genome research have led scientists to the term 'biological dark matter,' which refers to genetic material whose functionalities are not yet properly understood. Such 'dark matter' has been recognized as non-coding, or 'junk DNA,' and non-coding RNA, which was thought to be devoid of protein encrypting potential but contained 98-99% of the human genome. The mysteries of missing genes from its 'Dark DNA' region are a hotbed of recurrent mutations. Hence, the presence of 'missing genes' in evolutionary sibling species has indicated that the 'missing genes' are not really missing but rather hidden in the mutational hotbeds of 'Dark DNA' where they have steered the continuation of life’s evolutionary journey.

  • European Hair, Eye, and Skin Color
    Peter Frost
    Europeans, especially those from northern and eastern Europe, are unique in having diverse hair and eye colors and a skin almost as pale as an albino’s. Those colors are not only brighter than the original black and brown but also 'purer'-they lie within thin slices of the visible spectrum. Overall, that color scheme is more developed in women, who naturally have a higher incid...

  • When Evolution Stops
    Armando Simon
    Evolution is a fact. The evidence for it is simply overwhelming. However, the original mechanism that generates the evolutionary process, as first put forth simultaneously by Charles Darwin and Alfred R. Wallace and which became known as Natural Selection, has now been seen to be too simplistic by some scientists aside from the hard-core neo-Darwinists who insist that nothing w...
