| Description | The author of BEEM book Raju Pookottil offers an alternative hypothesis to the Darwinian theory of natural selection for organism evolution. He proposes that every species, be it single cells, plants or animals, are equipped with the fundamental mechanisms that allow them to generate intelligent decisions in order to direct their own evolution. Whereas natural selection depends on random mutations followed by selection, Pookottil argues that species are capable of determining how to logically construct themselves to near perfection over many generations, through modifying their own genes where necessary. |
