About this book

Quantum Evolution: The New Science of Life by McFadden, Johnjoe. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780393050417.

Applying the quirky laws of quantum mechanics to DNA, McFadden (molecular microbiology, U. of Surrey, England) promulgates a new science of the origin of life. In a popular treatment, he claims that mutations driving evolution are not random; objects to complexity/chaos theory as an explanation for lifes emergence; and asserts that we humans have "quantum evolved our own free will."
