Transphyletic Animal Similarities and Predictive Toxicology

  • Chapter
Old and New Questions in Physics, Cosmology, Philosophy, and Theoretical Biology

Abstract

Several years ago, I published an article entitled “The Evolution and Organization of Sentient Biological Behavior Systems” in one of the books edited by Wolfgang Yourgrau.1 In that article, I presented the rudiments of a theory to account for the “higher behaviors” that I had observed in the primitive flatworm, planaria. Although a variety of subsequent evidence, in addition to that which was available to me at the time, has lent further support for it and I am even more convinced now than then of its essential correctness, it was, I realize with hindsight, a pretty wild theory relative to the prevailing views of the time. Wolfgang exhibited a great deal of courage in acting as editorial midwife for its delivery. In his other role as “pediatrician” of ideas, I hope that he would not be displeased with this sequel describing the further growth of “the child.”
