Piecing together puzzles from the forefront of research, this book paints a sweeping canvas that will thrill all who are interested in biology, while also contributing to evolutionary thinking and debate. This is a book full of insights into the nature and evolution of life, and should be read by anyone who wants to know why we're here."--BOOK JACKET.=650  #0$aEnergy metabolism.=650  #0$aEukaryotic cells $xEvolution.=650  #0$aMitochondria.=650  #0$aMitochondrial DNA.=650  12$aMitochondria.=650  22$aDNA, Mitochondrial.=650  22$aEnergy Metabolism.=650  22$aEukaryotic Cells.=650  22$aEvolution, Molecular.=970  11$l1 $tThe deepest evolutionary chasm $p27=970  11$l10 $tThe warm-blooded revolution $p178=970  11$l11 $tConflict in the body $p200=970  11$l12 $tFoundations of the individual $p215=970  11$l13 $tThe asymmetry of sex $p232=970  11$l14 $tWhat human pre-history says about the sexes $p242=970  11$l15 $tWhy there are two sexes $p258=970  11$l16 $tThe mitochondrial theory of ageing $p274=970  11$l17 $tDemise of the self-correcting machine $p289=970  11$l18 $tA cure for old age? $p303=970  11$l2 $tQuest for a progenitor $p38=970  11$l3 $tThe hydrogen hypothesis $p51=970  11$l4 $tThe meaning of respiration $p71=970  11$l5 $tProton power $p85=970  11$l6 $tThe origin of life $p94=970  11$l7 $tWhy bacteria are simple $p114=970  11$l8 $tWhy mitochondria make complexity possible $p130=970  11$l9 $tThe power laws of biology $p156=970  11$lPt. 1 $tHopeful monster : the origin of the eukaryotic cell $p19=970  11$lPt. 2 $tThe vital force : proton power and the origin of life $p65=970  11$lPt. 3 $tInsider deal : the foundations of complexity $p105=970  11$lPt. 4 $tPower laws : size and the ramp of ascending complexity $p149=970  11$lPt. 5 $tMurder or suicide : the troubled birth of the individual $p189=970  11$lPt. 6 $tBattle of the sexes : human pre-history and the nature of gender $p227=970  11$lPt. 7 $tClock of life : why mitochondria kill us in the end $p267=970  11$tIntroduction : mitochondria : clandestine rulers of the world $p1=LDR  03425cam a22007214a 4500
