The Chemical Origin of Behavior is Rooted in Abiogenesis [PDF]
We describe the initial realization of behavior in the biosphere, which we term behavioral chemistry. If molecules are complex enough to attain a stochastic element to their structural conformation in such as a way as to radically affect their function ...

On the Rate of Abiogenesis from a Bayesian Informatics Perspective [PDF]
Life appears to have emerged relatively quickly on the Earth, a fact sometimes used to justify a high rate of spontaneous abiogenesis (λ) among Earth-like worlds.

Is Tumorigenesis an Abiogenesis?
CLN-IgG (Pritumuab) was subjected to clinical trials aiming at regression of brain tumors. The mechanism underlying the dramatic recuperation of cancer patient was considered by means of augmentation of idiotypic antibody-mediated internal image ...

Panspermia versus Abiogenesis: A Clash of Cultures
We are too often led to believe that strident denunciations of an unorthodox position in science are always based upon rational argument and irrefutable fact. This is clearly not so in many instances, one of which relates to panspermia and the dispersal

Abiogenesis not required to explain the origin of volcanic-hydrothermal hydrocarbons [PDF]
doi: 10.7185/geochemlet.1920 Abiotic formation of n-alkane hydrocarbons has been postulated to occur within Earth’s crust. Apparent evidence was primarily based on uncommon carbon and hydrogen isotope distribution patterns that set methane and its higher

A Corollary of the Conant-Ashby Theorem Applied to Abiogenesis
From the Conant-Ashby theorem about the "good regulator" is possible to derive a corollary about the origin of life (OOL). This corollary introduces the concept of "good constructor." Thenit is shown as nature, seen as a material system ruled by the laws

SOME MATHEMATICAL ASPECTS OF ABIOGENESIS
In this paper, we try to modestly, but strictly, using a mathematical approach, show that life was created with a certain goal and that the possibility of accidental origin of life is equal to zero.

Abiogenesis: the Carter argument reconsidered
The observation of life on Earth is commonly believed to be uninformative regarding the probability of abiogenesis on other Earth-like planets. This belief is based on the selection effect of our existence.

Dialogue Concerning Life: Abiogenesis, Biogenesis Or Creationism: Religious Response
Life itself is a mystery, the how and when of life’s origin constitute a serious challenge to both religion and science. To the reasoning mind, the origination of life is an intellectual problem that needs intellectual resolution especially in the ...

The hierarchical organization of autocatalytic reaction networks and its relevance to the origin of life. [PDF]
Prior work on abiogenesis, the emergence of life from non-life, suggests that it requires chemical reaction networks that contain self-amplifying motifs, namely, autocatalytic cores.
