Expanding the view of the father of biogeochemistry, Vladimir Vernadsky (The Biosphere), the McMenamins advance a systems view of the colonization of the land through deep time that they term the Hypersea Hypothesis. Like the New Symbiotic Biology and Gaia Theory, Hypersea is a unified worldview that recognizes the terrestrial sea of “animated water” that […]

Scott F. Gilbert, Professor of Biology at Swarthmore College and the University of Helsinki, delivers the Ninth Annual Sinauer Associates Distinguished Scientist Lecture on the new “holobiont” model of biology at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. The holobiont is the organism in community with its persistent symbionts, as in the Human Microbiome Project. This new view […]
