Abstract

Objectives: To propose a single unified theory of evolution of life and of species based on conscious evolutionary urge that works at all levels, from the individual to the cosmic. Methods: We review and analyze of all major theories of evolution of life and of species to figure out unanswered questions and to bring forth the possible role of an inherent evolutionary urge in every being and in every species. The evolutionary urge is made operationally active by the proposed fundamental and key role of the cosmic mind. Findings: The cosmic mind as the repository of all mental events of all beings, having as subsets the collective minds of all species, provides an adequate structure to explain evolution of life as well as of species as an effect of the corresponding evolutionary urges inherently present. It stores, regulates and activates the evolutionary urges in beings and species and thus is the source and substratum of all evolution. The morphogenetic field is proposed to play the role of an intermediary between the cosmic mind and the physical world. It is through this morphogenetic field that the urges in individual mind or collective mind or cosmic mind are projected unto the physical world. Many evolutionary isms and paradigms stand unified in the cosmic mind. Application/Improvements: The urge-based approach to evolution can explain adaptation and mutation and also points out possible directions of evolution beyond the Homo sapiens.

Abstract

Objectives: To generalize Prey-Predator Relationship (PPR) so that entire evolutionary process can be interpreted as a chain of Prey-Predator Relationships working by a law of mutual purposive association. Methods: Analysis and generalization of Prey-Predator Relationship, Meta-evolutionary analysis of evolution of life as well as of species using generalized Prey-Predator Relationship. Findings: The evolutionary urge proceeding from the cosmic mind manifests in the nonliving resulting in emergence of life and in the living leading to evolution of species. Progressive evolution of humans and beyond the human stage by the generalized Prey-Predator Relationship operating in the domain of the mind to gradually eliminate instinct and intellect leading to evolution of intuition. Successive evolutionary stages are found to be atom-molecule, moleculemacromolecule, macromolecule-life, life-instinct, instinct-intellect and intellect-intuition in that order. Certain important commonalities like common phylum etc. are found to be the bases of purposive association. Both prey and predator evolve through their relationship. Applications/Improvements: We generalize Prey-Predator Relationships to include elimination of qualities or traits rather than mere consumption of prey by the predator. We propose a law of purposive association to explain evolution of life from non-living and the entire course of evolution of species up to the human stage and beyond.

Abstract

Objectives: We wish to provide a meta-evolutionary basis for epigenetics and gene-culture co-evolution which lie beyond current evolutionary paradigms. We wish to give detailed mechanisms of action of the evolutionary urge that is responsible for all adaptations and hence of all evolution.Methods: We review recent developments in epigenetics and gene-culture co-evolution to explain in detail how exactly the evolutionary urge operates at all levels from a meta-evolution perspective. Findings: Adaptive urge leads to epigenetic marks which accumulate on the epigenome resulting ultimately in mutations in DNA, thereby causing morphological modifications. The epigenetic marks are the key intermediaries between the adaptive urges and the mutations. New adaptive urges get encoded into the epigenome and facilitate gene-culture co-evolution and speciation. The fundamental core of all evolution is the urge for survival, freedom and joy. Applications/Improvements: The fundamental proposal of meta-evolution theory is that the reason behind adaptive evolution is the evolutionary urge, which is lodged in the psyche of the individual. Intensity of urge determines the success or failure in adaptation.Fine structure of definite urges like cognitive urge, respiratory urge, locomotive urge, reproductive urge and urge for food etc. help explain the development of complexity ofcorresponding organs in the species.

Abstract

Objectives: To study unusual prey-predator relationships and generalize them to include behavior reversals and to find out whether they are actually role reversals or mere misnomers. Methods: Meta-evolutionary Analysis of various cases of role reversal e.g. plant parasitism, plant Carnivory, prey-predator role-reversal and cannibalism to find out their exclusive evolutionary advantages for the species involved. Findings: Most cases of role-reversal are, strictly speaking, not role reversals at all. Rather, such unusual prey-predator relationship is part of their natural method of survival or reproduction. The nomenclature of role-reversal on the basis of just their relative size is thus not proper. Santalum, wrongly designated as an obligate ischolar_main-parasite is rather a self-sacrificing species for its evolution by purposive association without harming the host plants. Similarly, plant carnivory also is a kind of role-reversal, since plants are thought to be preyed upon by animals and not the converse. It is proposed that a proto-instinct has developed in these plants. Prey-predator role-reversals are studied most commonly under role-reversals, but we find that they may not be fit to be called role reversals at all, if that method is the part of the obligatory fulfillment of the survival and reproductive urges. Applications/Improvements: Generalization of role reversals to behavior reversals and their meta-evolutionary analysis.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate if insecticide resistant mosquitoes are having better vectorial capacity and more potent vectors of Plasmodium as susceptible one. Methods: The present study consists of a novel experimental system consisting of Plasmodium berghei and its vector An. stephensi, one important mechanism of insecticide resistance (detoxification of insecticide through GST mediated pathway) was investigated for their effect on vectorial capacity of mosquito in terms of intake of blood meal, early mortality, fecundity, survivability up to 14 days of post blood meal and oocyst burden. For this purpose two types of experiments were carried out using susceptible An. stephensi and insecticide resistant An. stephensi (resistant after 2% DDT exposure for three generations). Findings: The present study revealed that the specific activity of GST was significantly higher in resistant An. stephensi. Significantly high frequency of intake of blood meal was found in resistant An. stephensi. Resistant An. stephensi showed low rate of early mortality. Study of fecundity of An. stephensi showed that Plasmodium infectivity is negatively proportional to fecundity and positively co-related to survivability of An. stephensi up to 14 days of post blood feed. Higher oocyst burden was observed in resistant infected An. stephensi. Application/Conclusions: The present study revealed that GST-based insecticide resistance enhanced the vectorial capacity of the resistant vector.

Abstract

Objectives: To investigate all symbiotic interactions and the resulting specific and diffuse co-evolutions to bring out the +/+ nature of all of them. Methods: Analysis of all symbiotic interactions in light of law of purposive association and competition as the fundamental factor behind all of them. Findings: All symbiotic interactions are driven by competition at the fundamental level ultimately leading to +/+ co-evolution. All competition, including that involved in mimicry and endosymbiosis, finally ends up in cooperation for gainful evolution. Speciation and diversification depend not only on competition strength and the intensity of the driving instinct for perpetuation. Evolution is all-pervading force acting continuously in and through all organisms towards their perpetuation and up-gradation to higher evolutionary strata through purposive association, even though the organisms themselves don’t precisely know or decisively undertake the exercise of such progressive evolution. A holistic vision of the organic wholeness of all life as giant self-evolving organism that includes all life-forms as its mutually interacting components emerges in the final analysis which can be extended to include biotic factors as well. Applications/Improvements: Meta-evolutionary analysis of symbiotic interactions based on law of purposive association for gainful evolution of species through competition.
