Creation: How Science Is Reinventing Life Itself - Adam Rutherford
Shared by:cryotag
What is life?
Humans have been asking this question for thousands of years. But as technology has advanced and our understanding of biology has deepened, the answer has evolved. For decades, scientists have been exploring the limits of nature by modifying and manipulating DNA, cells and whole organisms to create new ones that could never have existed on their own.
In Creation , science writer Adam Rutherford explains how we are now radically exceeding the boundaries of evolution and engineering entirely novel creatures—from goats that produce spider silk in their milk to bacteria that excrete diesel to genetic circuits that identify and destroy cancer cells. As strange as some of these creations may sound, this new, synthetic biology is helping scientists develop radical solutions to some of the world’s most pressing crises—from food shortages to pandemic disease to climate change—and is paving the way for inventions once relegated to science fiction.
Meanwhile, these advances are shedding new light on the biggest mystery of all—how did life begin? We know that every creature on Earth came from a single cell, sparked into existence four billion years ago. And as we come closer and closer to understanding the ancient root that connects all living things, we may finally be able to achieve a second genesis—the creation of new life where none existed before.
Creation takes us on a journey four billion years in the making—from the very first cell to the ground-breaking biological inventions that will shape the future of our planet.

Thanks cryotag. It’s good to have it as a single file. Easy to import.

Covers 4 billion years in a single book and even predicts the future eh? Must be some book. I can hardly wait to waste my time. And if the narrator is lousy I’ll really be in seventh heaven.

so with all this amazing innovation, where the f#@k is it being used and deployed? Oh thats right, its because it has to go through the filter of the TOXIC DEFAULT, the hierarchy of the most psychopathic, inbred subhuman vermin, who always find a way to drip feed innovation to society in a usually most polluting, expensive and non renewable manner. This is why trillions are thrown at cancer research, and still no cure except the flamethrower ‘treatment’ that is called chemo and radiation. All you scientists who have your head so far up your arses of self importance and arrogance, should be utterly ashamed of how stupid, pathetic and diseased with an almost non functioning brain, you truly are. and to think we could live in an innovative garden of eden utopia if people just work up to the most basic of facts. Authority is the most dangerous superstition. rant over.
