The Language of Life: Where Evolution Meets Meaning
What if the genetic code was the original form of writing? Before humans ever put pen to paper, nature had been composing in the language of DNA for billions of years. From Darwin to Derrida bridges an intellectual chasm between evolutionary biology and postmodern philosophy, revealing how meaning emerges from the mindless process of natural selection. This isn't just another science book - it's an intellectual adventure that challenges the artificial divide between sciences and humanities. By exploring how purpose can arise without a purposer and meaning without a conscious meaning-maker, we discover that the mechanisms creating biological meaning might also explain the emergence of human language, art, and philosophy.
