MY IDEAS ON EVOLUTION
Small ideas on evolution and is beginnings
Many authors have different words and different concepts to the topic of evolution, there are different theories and different hypothesis. Most probably we are not developed enough to be able to understand, and sometime in the future we will know that for sure.
I believe that in order to understand the possible concepts of evolution we must take into consideration the results from many sciences. There are researcher who believe memes were the second part of evolution, so called cultural evolution, other deny this idea and came up with the theory of contextual concepts.
All these theories however beautiful they may be do not explain the evolution and its beginning. Mostly they do not take into consideration facts from semiotics. If someone understands what semiotics is about, he will necessarily come to conclusion that communication of whatever type of living organism with its environment happens through signals which the outside world constantly emits; be it noise in atmosphere, or the waves of sound spread through solid material, earth itself, e.g. by volcano explosion, raindrops, falling tree etc. The next type of waves that from the point of view of life on earth had always been here are the waves of light.
So, at least these two types of waves were here for sure at the very beginning of life on earth. These waves are only the carrier of messages, signals that the life can code and decode. Most probably there was another type of communication at the very beginning of evolution, the transmission of smell.
Evolution must have happened on the base of these transmission possibilities. It would make no sense at all to construct some kind of life that cannot understand the signals of its own environment. Such life would have to be surely sentenced to death.
The influence of the environment was, has been and will be huge, upon the life in what ever of its forms. I believe that the environment helped life to come to existence, and only the forms of life as we know it now are the product of our environment.
Many researchers argue that there were two different evolutions, the evolution of biological life and that of cultural life. Today everybody agrees on the theory of the evolution of biological life, not so simple is this problem when we speak about cultural evolution, and especially about the beginnings of the both.
So life had to and really it did develop in the frame of conditions on the earth some 3 to 4 billion years ago. What can we be sure of that it really did function at that time? I would say it’s physics and chemistry with all their laws, of which we already know some. For sure it was light here, as our Sun existed before the Earth, and was emitting light. So did function one more phenomenon, the transmission of waves of sound. Before there was atmosphere on Earth, these waves just spread through Earth itself.
The absolutely first type of life, but it is highly questionable if it really was life as we see it today, might have been started by these waves, maybe in water or in some other kind of liquid material. This liquid may function as catalyst because of its ability to react in a certain way to waves.
Water, if brought to swinging by some kind of waves, sound waves e.g., shows fantastic pictures brought about by the inner traits of water. These reactions may have functioned as catalyst.
There is a new word standing for a new process, teemosis. This could be the first stage of epigenetics, and this goes in the direction that I suggested earlier: that inheritance occurs in many stages, and genetics is the last one, according to the present knowledge, and that there are several stages before genetics, one of them might be epigenetics and the one before might be teemosis. There is still a large probability that there will be more stages found.
In some of my previous writings I suggested that the outside world has influence upon the living creature, this influence can become impact if repeated many times over many generations, if this really happens then this influence will be set onto the next level of inheritance system, and this will happen several times before the influence comes to be coded in genes. Genes itself are viewed upon by scientists as something unchangeable, which,of course, is false. Genes do change too, they develop, but they do in such a long time span that they seem to us unchangeable.
