EVOLUTION RELOADED: A NEW APPROACH TO SOCIAL DIMENSIONS OF EVOLUTION

Available on Google Play
Evolution as a concept is not limited to the evolution of organisms. It is the basic working principle of the Cosmos. With the new evolution theory in the work Evolution Reloaded [Taachal, 2021] the author comes out of the closet of natural selection to explore the evolution of life which is a cause-result linked chain reaction activated as a product of interaction among various environmental factors and energy forms. This theory also envisages a society as an organism sustained by various social processes and energy forms. The following extract is from the introduction of the book.
"A comprehensive evolution theory should deal with both external and internal attributes of an organism. In addition it should be able to deal with the linear changes in the spiritual bodies of human beings and social systems. While Darwin's theory of evolution exclusively dealt with the structure and form that consist of the external attributes of an organism, there was an effort to embed the spirit of this theory into the domain of Social Science.  It was done by Karl Marx when he tried to frame his historical vision by inducting the Darwinian conception of struggle for existence into his theory of class conflict.  
When dealing with the theoretical conception of struggle for existence Darwin got it right, but Marx got it wrong, because Darwin was dealing with the wild world of animals and on the other hand Marx was dealing with societies and civilizations.  Struggle for existence is equally applicable to the world of animals and the world of Homo sapiens. But the way by which these struggles are tackled is entirely different in the world of animals and in the world of Homo sapiens. Historically speaking, the single most powerful influencer of civil life in the entire Eastern world is Gautama Buddha and the infinite number of generations that shaped their destiny never found anything like survival of the fittest as a solution to the struggle for existence. In fact, Gautama Buddha exhorted his followers to avoid the struggle for existence by giving away desire and craving for existence. And in the entire Western world when we search for the single most powerful influencer of civil life, we cannot find any other name than that of Jesus Christ. There should never be an iota of doubt that the gospels on Jesus Christ never contained survival of the fittest as a solution to the natural state of struggle for existence. In fact, the voice of Jesus Christ was against the predatory tendencies inherent in human beings and he earnestly exhorted that man should leave behind his beastly familiarity in order to attain a new state of existence, a kind of rebirth, to become the members of the kingdom of god.  Wherever the propositions of struggle for existence and survival of the fittest find historical examples, as in the Americas where the colonists from Europe practiced them by mindless genocide of entire populations in vast continents, we are forced to bow down our heads in shame to accept the fact that Darwinian propositions are derogatory to the foundations of human existence. Providence alone knows that how far Darwin was influenced by the mindless saga of genocide in the Americas to propose his theoretical contentions of struggle for existence and survival of the fittest. Sufficient is said to prove my point that Marx's effort at inducting struggle for existence into his historical framework failed very miserably and consequently the scope of Darwinian evolution remained within the realm of organic evolution." The book is available on Google Play.

EVOLUTION RELOADED: NEW DIMENSIONS TO THE ORIGIN OF LIFE AND THE EVOLUTION OF ORGANISMS

GET EBOOK ON GOOGLE PLAY EVOLUTION RELOADED is the first of the three books which come under the series PHILOSOPHY UNLEASHED. This book deals with the controversial topic of evolution. The second book in the series deals with ideas, societies and civilizations. The third book explores the philosophy of history. Ever since man began to exist as a conscious being on the surface of the earth, he has been agitated by the questions regarding the evolution of the Cosmos, the origin of life and the development of societies and civilizations. And except for a minuscule period of past hundred and fifty years, the answers to the above-mentioned questions limited their scope within the realm of a supreme creator. The divine creation theory commanded the intellectual sphere of the society, just as Darwinism and Big Bang Theory command the intellectual sphere of our own society. However, when man climbed many steps up the ladder of knowledge with more and more resolved forms of ideas and advanced

INDIA DECODED: A HISTORY OF INDIA BEYOND COMMUNAL NARRATIVE

AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY This book is the first of the three books which come under the series HISTORY UNLEASHED. This book deals with the history of India from its known beginnings to our own times. The second book in the series deals with the history of Europe. The third book explores the history of the world.  This book undertakes to interpret the history of India from the point of view of a logical pattern that explores historical progress on the basis of civilization cycles. We have a number of books that deal with the history of India in the academic domain as well as in the public domain. But most of these works undertake to do the description of various events with reference to chronology. Such kind of historical explorations have left the people of the subcontinent into a confusing realm of intellectual anarchy. The current state of the society in the subcontinent is directly proportional to the chaos in its historical domain.  As against usual chronological descriptions, this

EVOLUTION RELOADED: DECODING TREE OF LIFE AND THE DESCENT OF MAN

EBOOK AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY Excerpts from the book EVOLUTION RELOADED "The latest in the series of defenses that tried to safeguard Darwinism came from Molecular Biology. Highly advanced and complicated research method called DNA Sequencing which could analyze human composition not at the levels of Morphology, Anatomy or Genetics, but at the level of molecules, supported Darwinism stating that chimpanzees and human beings shared the highest possible DNA sequences among all the existing animals. But this study also shed light on the denying fact that cats and cows, who according to Darwinism descended from a common ancestor along with human beings in the distant past, share 90% of DNA sequences with human beings. The same DNA sequencing also showed the contradictory fact that bananas share 60% DNA Sequences with human beings. Similarly, fruit fly and red Jungle fowl [a kind of chicken] share 60% DNA Sequences with human beings. These results speak themselves that DNA Sequencing
