"The Third Synthesis for Biology: Deep Structure Studies I" by Winpen Hann

In The Third Synthesis of Biology: Deep Structure Studies I (ISBN 1466442255), scientist Winpen Hann summarizes the latest developments in evolutionary biology. More than 150 years after Charles Darwin wrote On the Origin of Species, research into evolutionary biology has stagnated as molecular and cell biology, with its focus on recombinant DNA, has captured widespread attention. This new book, however, summarizes a new approach to evolutionary biology that may reinvigorate the field.

Much of evolutionary biology is built on the back of Darwin who described natural selection as survival of the fittest, a competition between animal species over who would be best suited for a particular environment and eventually survive. This new method of research outlined in The Third Synthesis of Biology moves away from the gene-centered view of evolution to focus on the adaptive features of an organisms phenotype. It looks at adaptations within species, from seed size to offspring variation to reproductive timing to symbiotic gut micro-organisms.

This book will appeal to professors, researchers and graduate students who are interested in the latest developments in the life sciences. Hann is the director of the Brain and Ecology Deep Structure Lab and The Third Synthesis of Biology is the fruit of more than 20 years of interdisciplinary research into the burgeoning field of adaptation biology.

Now that the entire human genome has been sequenced, scientists have latched on to the fact that the same genes express themselves differently in different environments. This evolutionary biology textbook expands on this new insight to survey the diversity of physical adaptations within a species as an expression of that genetic diversity. This timely book captures the latest trends in the field at a time when evolutionary biology is coming to an important turning point.

The Third Synthesis of Biology: Deep Structure Studies I is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.

About the Author: Winpen Hann is director of the Brain and Ecology Deep Structure Lab and Deep Structure Bio-science Research Co., Ltd. He is also the director of the original Brain and Ecology Comparative Group. His interests are ecology, evolutionary biology and economics. Hanns other books include New Experimental Biology and The Deep Structure of Life, which he authored in his native language, Chinese.
