Contents:

Biological evolution is now being studied at the level of elementary particles

The unexpected surge of periodicity among plants and animals is anchored to that of elementary particles and chemical elements

Carnivory in plants is not a "paradoxical event" but is due to the expression of specific genes and chemical modifications of DNA

Luminescence occurs from minerals to fish but not beyond. It is both an electronic and a genetic event

Placenta in plants and in animals. Its punctuated emergence is decided by common genes

Penis evolution from worms to humans : a double penis occurs in most unrelated species

Regeneration starts in crystals, expands in plants, but slows down in higher vertebrates

The eye, the main organ of vision, has had an ordered evolution guided by self-assembly

Flight in air, an explosive event throughout invertebrates and vertebrates

High mental ability has resurged without previous announcement

The structural and functional similarity between marsupials and placentals has its roots in the plant and mineral worlds

The periodic tables lead to a law of biological periodicity which has predictive power.
