A second evolutionary process moderates the evolution of emotions and behaviour in metazoans

ABSTRACT

Evolutionary biology recognizes only one evolutionary process: natural selection. However, here the existence of a second evolutionary process is posited, (called ‘Teemosis’), that emerged at the Precambrian-Cambrian boundary from selective pressures for complex, environment specific, heritable behaviour. It is argued the teemosis process promulgates environmentally acquired instincts, innate behaviour, including ‘human nature,’ and emotions in all phyla above sponges, (phylum Porifera.) Although an ‘instructionist’ process, teemosis is nonLamarckian, so avoids the deleterious consequences of acquired characteristics. It is hypothesized the DNA molecule contains two separate systems of inheritance; the ‘Mendelian Inheritance System’ utilizing coding Exon genes, and the ‘Teemic Inheritance System,’ that conserves environmentally acquired quantums of innate behaviour, called ‘teems,’ in non-protein-coding DNA nucleotide sequences. Finally, the paper argues that the biodiversity and complexity that is everywhere evident in nature is not the consequence of natural selection alone, but of natural selection and teemosis working in symbiotic concert. By integrating the evolution of emotions, instinct, motivation and personality with organic evolution and genetics, teem theory unifies the biological sciences into a new holistic paradigm.

Emotional transduction and the teem theory of perception

ABSTRACT

Central to teem theory is the premise that teemic taxa transduce sensory stimuli into an emotional code to facilitate the teemosis evolutionary process. Here the physiology and evolution of emotional transduction are described, and a new theory of perception and sensation proposed that distinguishes perception as two separate perceptual systems - one emotional - the other cerebral. Emotional perception, it is argued, first emerged at the Precambrian- Cambrian boundary as a component of the teemosis evolutionary process to transduce environmental stimuli into linguistically meaningful patterns of emotions. As the first perceptual system, emotional perception established the physiological networks and behavioural precedents from which brain based perceptual systems would evolve. In this context, teemosis functions as a mechanism of organic evolution.

The Evolutionary origins of teemosis and its implications for NeoDarwinian theory

ABSTRACT

Determining the origins of the teemosis evolutionary process has implications for the reinterpretation of the fossil record and the natural history of earth . Here it is argued that teemosis first emerged at the Vendian-Cambrian boundary - 543 mya. This suggests the preceding 3.2 billion years of Precambrian evolution were moderated exclusively by the Darwinian process of natural selection. A review of the Precambrian fossil record suggests natural selection was incapable of promulgating morphological complexity, biological diversity or complex inheritable instincts. This challenges the belief that given enough time, natural selection could, and did, achieve the biodiversity and complexity ubiquitous in nature. It is argued that for the last 543 million years, biotic complexification, speciation, biodiversity and complex innate behaviour have been the consequence of teemosis and NS functioning in symbiotic concert.

The teem theory of macroevolution

ABSTRACT

While the teemosis evolutionary process initially emerged at the basal Cambrian to generate innate behaviour, here it is argued teemosis additionally enables natural selection to create morphological complexity and speciation otherwise unattainable by natural selection alone. It is argued teemosis precipitated natural selection, sexual selection and sexual dimorphism, and that emotion based teemic biosystems established the physiological infrastructure and precedents from which cerebral biosystems emerged - including declarative memory, cerebral learning, attention, perception (including vision,) motivation, cognition, communication and language. It is concluded that the rapid expansion of complex innate behaviour, macroevolution, speciation, and morphological complexity engendered by teemosis is evident in the fossil record as The Cambrian Explosion.

The teem theory of nonMendelian inheritance

ABSTRACT

Here, the putative belief is challenged that Mendelian inheritance, (first discovered by Gregor Mendel in the 19th century and expanded by Boveri and Sutton, Watson and Crick and others in the 20^th century) is the sole mechanism of biological inheritance on this planet. It is argued the DNA molecule contains a second system of hereditary transmission, (the Teemosis Inheritance System) that is complementary to the Mendelian system, but which emerged 3.2 billion years after Mendelian inheritance and which regulates the acquisition and inheritance of teems. It is argued the Teemic Inheritance System is accommodated in non-protein-coding sequences of DNA and regulates the inheritance of emotional datasets.
