Keith Skene.
Shadows on the Cave Wall: a new theory of evolution.
Ard Macha Press. 2009
A radical and challenging book that turns current thinking about evolution on its head.
Keith Skene, a former Rhodes Scholar and an evolutionary ecologist, presents a completely new
approach to our understanding of how and why life evolved in the way that it did,
and why the Biosphere functions in the way that it does.
Darwinism was based on biology, while neo-Darwinism and Gaian theory rely on chemistry.
This book is built on a much more fundamental basis, physics.
He argues that since physics is the foundation for understanding everything else,
then surely we should base our theory of evolution on it,
rather than on the shadows of chemistry and biology.
Armed with this new approach, Skene then applies it to understand how we should face the serious challenges facing our planet at present. The answer is not carbon!
