Summary

"What is the driving forces of life? Is it creation or evolution? Is life's intention survival of the fittest only as Charles Darwin maintained? Can the structure of organs in the various organisms only be explained as fitting the adaptation to the external world?" "Friedrich Salomon Rothschild offers an alternative. On the basis of his researches in comparative embryology, Rothschild concludes that the central nervous systems of animals as well as of man, is a system conveying meaning just like language and not a system only aimed at adapting to the external environment." "In his theory of biosemiotics, Rothschild introduces the concept of inner adaptation; it is adaptation to the principal force assigning meaning of life; it is the force called God by the monotheistic religions. In this way Rothschild offers the solution to the problem: Creation or Evolution. The solution: Creation AND evolution." "This book is intended for all who are interested in life and its meanings, students of biology and medicine as well as students of the humanities."--Jacket
