THE SECOND EVOLUTION

WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY ABOUT TEEM THEORY



 Here's a sample of comments:


"My reaction: your approach makes very good sense because the ability of Homo sapiens to adapt to widely different environments (obviously a key feature of the species) will be greatly enhanced through the ability to shape somewhat the triggers of emotional responses in the manner you describe."

Professor Roger D. Masters.
 President, Foundation for Neuroscience & Society


"I think you make splendid arguments regarding the necessity for a system of inheritance other than Darwinism."
Dr. Mary MacGibbon,
ACU, Australia


"If you are right, nearly everything I know about genetics and development is wrong."

Professor Robert Trivers

How very fascinating!

Professor G. A. Parker
Population and Evolutionary Biology Research Group,
University of Liverpool

"I will certainly look forward to seeing the publication of your book, not least because of some recently developed interests of my own on the evolution (and inevitability) of sensory mechanisms." 

Professor Simon Conway Morris.
Cambridge University



"The idea seems interesting."

Robin Allott

"Your proposal that two evolutionary mechanisms administrate evolution is so very simple but equally very profound. It brought to mind Thomas Huxley’s remark when he was reading Charles Darwin’s book, The Origin of Species, “How incredibly stupid not to have thought of that myself.”

Dr. J. Dayal Purohit

"Some of your ideas parallel those of researchers who believe that
there are very large portions of the genome dedicated to producing
non-coding [regulatory] DNAs.  Unfortunately, the evidence for this
is yet to arrive, although a small number of microRNA genes is known."

Professor Ross H Crozier.
James Cook University, Australia

"I think TEEM theory is all very scientifically addressable, and can rely on standard genetic techniques."

Professor David Featherstone,
Department of Biological Sciences.
University of Illinois at Chicago

"Sounds intriguing"

Professor Noam Chomsky
MIT

"Your theory is very novel and interesting."

Professor Kirk Winemiller
Texas A&M University

"I believe that his propositions for the function of “junk DNA” are very plausible.  He [Vendramini] has supported his propositions and conclusions by a wealth of scientific published evidence..  the publication of the theory itself would be a very worthwhile addition to our understanding of this area of human and animal biology."

Professor Tord Kjellstrom.
ANU, Australia




"As I read your website , it provides an explanation for  thoughts that have puzzled me for decades.  The possibility of an "emotional genetic inheritance"  explains how information is passed down generations whereas natural selection would take too long a time to adapt."

Alan Wolliner
New York

"Your point of view seems interesting."

Professor Pierre Capy,
University of Paris
