The Dynamic Code: Information Transfer in Hormonal Systems

  • Chapter
Complexity, Chaos, and Biological Evolution

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 270))

Abstract

In the recent textbook of “Endokrinologie” (Hesch, 1989a) we have formulated a new concept of the evolution of biological information. When we analyzed the current knowledge on the evolution of life it became apparent that its separation into processes is due to the history of western science.
